The funding will support collaborations between academics, health services and community organisations to help turn research into better care.<\/p>\n
UNSW Sydney researchers have received more than $3.5 million through the National Health and Medical Research Council<\/a> (NHMRC) Partnership Projects scheme<\/a> .<\/p>\n The three successful projects will investigate ways to improve health services and care for people affected by congenital syphilis, improve HIV prevention and address mental health challenges among refugees.<\/p>\n Led by researchers from the faculties of Medicine & Health, Arts, Design & Architecture and Science, the three projects received a combined $3,503,039 in funding.<\/p>\n The Partnership Projects scheme supports research collaborations that address specific health questions and translate findings into changes in the delivery, organisation, funding and access to health services.<\/p>\n The UNSW projects will be delivered in partnership with community organisations, health departments and service providers, helping ensure the research can inform health policy and practice.<\/p>\n UNSW Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Enterprise, Professor Bronwyn Fox, said the projects reflected the University’s commitment to collaborative research with real-world impact.<\/p>\n “Partnerships are essential to ensuring research delivers meaningful benefits for communities,” Prof. Fox said.<\/p>\n “By working closely with the people and services at the centre of complex health issues, UNSW researchers are helping translate evidence into practical improvements in health care and better outcomes for communities across Australia.”<\/p>\n NHMRC Acting CEO Prue Torrance said: “NHMRC-funded researchers are strongly encouraged to collaborate with partners whose decisions and actions shape health services, health policy and the delivery of care.<\/p>\n “The Partnership Projects receiving funding today have the potential to do that, and to ultimately improve the health of all Australians through research translation into better health care.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The funding will support collaborations between academics, health services and community organisations to help turn research into better…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":917714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[64,63,137],"class_list":["post-917713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-health","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-health"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=917713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/917713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/917714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=917713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=917713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=917713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
