In the CRC for Aboriginal Health Capacity Development Strategy, one
of the objectives is to develop a health research workforce
carrying out high-quality, high-impact, culturally appropriate
research in Aboriginal health.
The CRC for Aboriginal Health
provides opportunities for researchers and students to develop
skills and knowledge to build the health workforce. Opportunities
are provided at project, program and organisational levels.
See below for more information and stories.
Professional development
through CRC for Aboriginal Health projects includes:
- training for researchers and collaborating organisations;
- conference attendance to contribute to learning or to promote
project findings;
- scholarships and
traineeships;
- supporting students' project costs, such as travel and
accommodation for field work;
- support for in-kind projects, such as scholarships, conference
attendance or publication support.
CRC for Aboriginal Health programs also support capacity
development activities, which can include:
- conference scholarships to key conferences related to the
program;
- course development that supports the uptake of research
findings from the program;
- developing new methodological approaches within and across
disciplines;
- supporting students to attend industry roundtables, take part
in quality assurance processes and gain other valuable experiences
from taking part in CRC for Aboriginal Health activities;
- scholarships and
traineeships;
- support for student project costs;
- capacity development activities within in-kind projects;
- support in publishing research.
Organisational level capacity development opportunities
include:
- supporting Link people through inductions, Link meetings and
funding to attend showcases;
- providing workshops at the symposiums on a range of topics
including writing for publication, research impact and resource
development;
- coordinating an international
program to provide funds to Aboriginal staff and students to
attend international conferences;
