Randall Silcock Grant – Round 1

The Randall Silcock Grant provides travel funding for Doctor of Medicine students at the University of Queensland to present research at conferences. The grant supports conference attendance by reimbursing conference registration and travel costs up to $1,000 for students who have had their abstracts accepted or received invitations to present at conferences. The grant was established in 1972 and is maintained by an endowment from the estate of the late Randall Gilbert Silcock. This award was recognised by the UQ Senate in 2015. The grant is available retrospectively if evidence that the paper was accepted and the conference was attended in the year of the award can be provided. Up to 25 awards are available per round, with the funding aimed at supporting academic excellence and enhancing student experiences and employability through conference participation.
