NHMRC Translating Research Into Practice Fellowships
| Status | Closed |
|---|---|
| Aim | The NHMRC Translating Research into Practice (TRIP) Fellowships scheme aims to build capacity in research translation by supporting future leaders to undertake projects focused on translating evidence into practice that will either have localised health benefits to patients or broader and deeper impact on health care, the health system, public health, national policy, and/or service delivery. It also seeks to create a critical mass of experts in the area of research translation to support and sustain change in the long-term. The NHMRC TRIP Fellowship provides support for healthcare professionals (e.g. medical specialists, general practitioners, public health practitioners, physiotherapists, nurses, midwives, radiologists, and other allied health providers), healthcare personnel (health service managers, hospital department leaders, clinical trial managers) and policy makers to translate evidence into healthcare and public health improvements. The Fellowship provides protected time for fellows to develop the range of skills needed for leadership in research translation and to apply evidence to improve healthcare and/or public health. The scheme aims at developing early- to mid-career applicants wishing to combine research translation with their career and is not designed to support applicants already established as healthcare leaders. |
| Funding | Financial support to undertake a two-year 0.5 FTE implementation research project. It is expected that the employing institution will support the remainder of the TRIP Fellow's employment time. For awards beginning in 2018, the package is as follows:
The NHMRC offers co-funded fellowships in collaboration with selected health and medical organisations, and these fellowships may have access to additional research funds or salary top-up from the co-funding partner. The scheme also provides opportunities for training, professional development, mentoring and networking. |
