Project: Review of a research funding scheme
The Office for Health and Medical Research, NSW Health engaged MHC to assist with conducting an implementation review of the Translational Research Grants Scheme. This involved a review of research projects in the scheme, to assess their implementation readiness and any policy and practice impacts arising from the research.
What MHC Did
- Review research strategy and grant schemes
- Research impact
- Translate research
- Review structures and operational processes
- Advise on future directions and improvements for the grant scheme
- Engage and consult with your stakeholders (including facilitating workshops)
Outcome
This review demonstrated the success of the program and was presented to all NSW Health Chief Executives to inform discussion about how to improve the scheme and is available on the NSW Health website.
A key finding from this project was how an ‘implementation handover‘ can ensure research is translated through to policy and practice.
