Welcome to the SERTA online grant application service for open access journal publications.
SERTA provides funding support for peer-reviewed journal publications as a key initiative that aligns with Gold Coast Health’s strategic goal of meeting evolving patient need through clinical research, innovation and transformation.
Eligible Gold Coast Health staff, as first or last senior author, are entitled to one ‘approved’ application per year (based on a 12-month period from date of last approval) to support journal publication fees to a maximum of AUD 5,000.
Before you commence your submission please make sure you have read and understand the guidelines and you have completed the preliminary requirements. We also suggest that you preview or download a PDF of the application form prior to commencing your submission. Once you are ready to commence your submission, you can start anywhere in the form. Please ensure you 'save as you go' to avoid any loss of work due to timeouts.
For queries about the guidelines, deadlines, or questions in the form, please contact 5687 0663 during business hours or email GCSERTA@health.qld.gov.au and quote your submission number.

On every screen (page of the form) you will find a Form Navigation contents box, this links directly to every page of the application. Click the link to jump directly to the page you want.
You can also click 'next page' or 'previous page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the application.
If you wish to leave a partially completed application, press 'save and close' and log out. When you log back in and click on the 'My Submissions' link at the top of the screen, you will find a list of any applications you have started or submitted. You can reopen your draft application and start where you left off.
You can also download any application, whether draft or completed, as a PDF. Click on the 'Download PDF' button located at the bottom of the last page of the application form.
You will find a Review and Submit button at the bottom of the Navigation Panel. You need to review your application before you can submit it.
Once you have reviewed your application you can submit it by clicking on 'Submit' at the top or bottom of the screen or on the navigation panel. You will not be able to submit your application until all the compulsory questions are completed and there are no validation errors.
Once you have submitted your application, no further editing or uploading of support materials is possible.
When you submit your application, you will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted application attached. This will be sent to the email you used to register.
If you do not receive a confirmation of submission email then you should presume that your submission has NOT been submitted.
Hint: also check the email hasn’t landed in your spam or junk email folder.
You will need to upload/submit attachments to support your application. This is very simple, but requires you to have the documents saved on your computer, or on a storage device.
You need to allow enough time for each file to upload before trying to attach another file. Files can be up to 25MB each; however, we do recommend trying to keep files to a maximum of 5MB – the larger the file, the longer the upload time.
Thank you for your submission to SERTA.
