Widely promote our research achievements and our researchers using a variety of media platforms and communications mechanisms. In conjunction with the NORTH Foundation, develop a fundraising strategy to increase philanthropic contribution to research. Help researchers identify seed funding, in particular for early and mid-career researchers. Ensure our diverse community is sufficiently represented in all aspects of the research process, including planning, co-designing, evaluating and participating in research at NSLHD. Add research as a standing item to the NSLHD Consumer Committee. Engage consumers, carers and families in the implementation of this Strategy via the Research Advisory Committee. Promote research training opportunities provided by universities and other external bodies, and support access to these activities. Support research open days and targeted research forums to improve networking opportunities. Establish a Research Advisory Committee that includes representation from researchers and consumers across NSLHD to oversee the implementation of this Strategy. Add research as a standing item on the agenda of the NSLHD Executive Committee and Board. Establish a clinical trials working group, to improve coordination of trials, as well as increase the number and quality of clinical trials, and clinical trial participation rates, across NSLHD. Review the current model of research management, with a view to centralising and optimising the functionality of research support activities, including financial and grant management, ethics and governance, legal support, intellectual property and commercialisation. Develop and maintain a web presence for NSLHD research via a variety of resources to enhance our research profile and promote our strengths. Investigate and implement systems and processes to reduce ethics and governance complexity, and approval timeframes. Strategically engage with research policy and funding bodies, such as the Ministry of Health, NHMRC and others to inform collaborative partnership arrangements. Work in collaboration with Sydney North Health Network to continue developing primary care research that impacts on clinical care. Continue to strengthen existing research partnerships with Sydney Health Partners, the Northern Sydney Academic Health Sciences Centre, as well as our industry, university and health organisation partners to drive research efficiencies and encourage innovation. Establish a “research register” to map existing researchers and research activities and track future growth. Investigate mechanisms to ensure research conducted within NSLHD (either by NSLHD staff, or using NSLHD resources) acknowledges NSLHD in publications and communications. Adopt an agreed and transparent approach for measuring research impact. Ensure research that improves the health and wellbeing of our vulnerable populations is supported. Develop knowledge and capacity for intellectual property management and identify potential commercialisation partners.
