Application Process

• Step 1: Preparing your answers to the 'Required Questions'

  An integral part of your application is a document containing prepared answers to the Program’s ‘Required Questions’.  These questions aim to help MIGA and the Judging Panel understand more about you and your proposed training program. 
   
  At a minimum, your document should contain detailed answers to each of the following questions:

  1. Provide a detailed summary of your proposed training program for which you are applying for a grant (make sure you include name, nature, type and a description of the training).
  2. Discuss your journey in medicine so far, including how you made the decision to pursue this proposed training program.
  3. Please detail the new skills and knowledge you hope to acquire or access through the training opportunity.  These may include, but are not limited to, procedures, treatments, techniques, processes, research, technology, equipment, resources, systems and other areas relating to your practice.
  4. Please describe how the new skills and knowledge you obtain will benefit your future, both personally and professionally.
  5. Please outline the benefits arising from the completion of your proposed training program in relation to:
     1. Your local community
     2. Your colleagues in Australia
  6. Please outline the additional personal expenses you will incur in pursuing your proposed training program, providing specific detail where appropriate.  This may include, but is not limited to, costs associated with course fees, travel and accommodation.

  
  To assist the Judging Panel, please ensure your answers are clearly numbered and the document is labelled with the following file name structure before uploading to the Application Form:  “First Name_Last Name_Document Name”.

• Step 2: Preparing Supporting Documents

  The Online Application Form provides an opportunity to upload up to five additional documents in support of your submission.  While this is not compulsory, we strongly encourage you to consider providing additional information or materials that will help MIGA understand more about you and the training you propose to undertake. 
  
  Supporting documents may include additional training program information, your curriculum vitae, reference letters or any other information relevant to your submission. The format and nature of these materials is not limited – it is up to you how to use this opportunity to frame your submission.

• Step 3: Completing the Online Application Form

  The final step is to submit your application via the DIT Grants Program Online Application Form. 
   
  The Application Form requires your basic contact details, as well as information relating to your College speciality training (if applicable).  Please ensure you also have on hand details relating to the destination and timing of the proposed training program for which you are applying for a grant.
   
  The final section of this Form allows you to upload your ‘Required Questions’ document, as well as any additional supporting documents you wish to provide.
