Enabling research to be translated into action to positively impact on the health of people
|
|
|
Plotting our strategic directions for the next 18 months was a key focus of HTSA’s Board of Partners meeting held on Friday 19 July 2019.
It was agreed that our work would address three key strategic priorities:
- Mobilising leadership and collaboration to address health system challenges
- Building expertise in SA through projects and capacity building initiatives
- Developing a state-wide translational pathway
Importantly, we are developing an Impact Evaluation Framework to ensure we can map and measure our progress towards our goal of accelerating the translation of research along the impact pathway to improve health outcomes for South Australia.
|
|
We continue to move ahead with our work with the Commission on Excellence and Innovation in Health to develop data and analytics solutions, and we have recently established a working group to bring together representatives from all universities and SAHMRI to strengthen and position South Australia to maximise Medical Research Future Fund grant funding success.
Finally, I would like to encourage any students interested in pursuing a Masters or PhD in Health and Medical Research to attend our Higher Degree Research Open Night being held on Thursday 19 September 2019 from 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm at SAHMRI. Hosted by Health Translation SA, this event is a great opportunity to discuss potential project opportunities with leading SA research institutions. See further details in the newsletter to register.

Information within the report reflects the dual role our Consumer Engagement Project Officer, Alex Michelmore, has across both HTSA and the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) and includes:
- An outline of community engagement activities and achievements of SAHMRI and HTSA from July 2018 to June 2019, including HTSA’s involvement in national community engagement initiatives as a part of the Australian Health Research Alliance (AHRA);
- Examples of how community members have been involved or are influencing our research projects; and
- ‘Looks back’ over the past four years and highlights the achievements of SAHMRI since the development of the SAHMRI Consumer and Community Engagement Framework.
|
|
|
|
Several highlights over the past year include:
|
|
|
- Holding the first ‘Connecting with Community’ Forum, bringing together over 60 consumers and researchers currently undertaking consumer engagement activities across SAHMRI, HTSA and Adelaide Bio-Med City.
- Collaborating with Flinders University to run a ‘Partnership in Research Workshop’. Several researcher and consumer partnerships were formed, and a second event is planned.
- Launching the Community Interest Register, enabling access to a database of community members who are interested in being involved in health and medical research within South Australia.

Skills-based training course for early career researchers
|
|
|
Building successful partnerships for policy-relevant research
5 - 7 November 2019
|
|
|
|
Research conducted with policy partners can have a greater chance of impacting on policies, programs and services.
But how do early career researchers build these partnerships? How do they manage and sustain them? And how do they get their research findings known and used?
Sax Institute are offering a new skills-based training course, launched in 2017, which has been developed to address these questions. It's a 3 day, face-to-face course, drawing on the expertise of senior policy makers and researchers to help early career researchers build the skills required to initiate and sustain research partnerships with policy makers.
