NHMRC-accredited Research Translation Centres are leading centres of excellence and collaboration in health and medical research, research translation, research-infused education and training, and outstanding health care.
What do the Research Translation Centres do and why
The accredited Research Translation Centres work both independently and collaboratively to drive improvements in health services and clinical trials in Australia. They also work effectively with end-users of research, ensuring that their research is informed by a range of perspectives and identified needs.
NHMRC recognises the valuable role that the NHMRC-accredited Research Translation Centres play in supporting the research translation into healthcare locally, as well as across Australia.
Research Translation Centres collaborate nationally as the Australian Health Research Alliance.
Further information on the valuable work the Research Translations Centres undertake is available on the Impact and outcomes tab.
