Partnerships

We are committed to partnering with community, industry and relevant stakeholders in all phases of our research. This philosophy of co-creation of research with community, industry and government, means:

  • including end-users and stakeholders in the conceptual design of research, and encouraging innovative, creative and participatory methodologies
  • embedding knowledge brokering into all projects
  • focusing on translation to practical and policy application to resonate with the broader community
  • using implementation science to measure translation platforms to support evidence-based practice, educational and policy strategies for individual, community and system level change
    Plans for translating and disseminating research to stakeholders are developed and tailored for each project.
