Research Capacity Building

EMF is committed to building sustainable, long-term research capacity among emergency healthcare clinicians. Since 2008, we have invested almost $4 million into building research capacity in Queensland public hospital emergency departments. Our initiatives have led to thriving research cultures in some of the State’s busiest emergency departments as well as initiating research projects in regional and rural hospitals.

Institutions applying for a Research Capacity Building grant are expected to use this funding to:

  • develop their research capacity through research, education and communication activities
  • establish a collaborative and multidisciplinary research culture within their department and with other institutions
  • promote and prioritise research as ‘core business’
  • work towards embedding research activities including data collection, routine evaluation, innovation, and translation of research results into clinical practice
  • attain a level of productivity and capability sufficient to attract nationally competitive grant funding in the medium and long term

EMF thanks the Queensland Government for funding the Queensland Research Program through Queensland Health.
