Centres of Research Excellence
The intent of the Centres of Research Excellence (CRE) program is to provide support for teams of researchers to purse collaborative research and develop capacity in clinical, population health and health services research. Funding will support three schemes:
- CREs in Clinical Research;
- CREs in Population Health Research; and
- CREs in Health Services Research.
The objective of funding CREs is to:
- Support the conduct and development of innovative, high quality, collaborative research;
- Ensure effective translation of research into health policy and / or practice;
- Foster and build capacity in the health and medical research workforce; and
- Provide opportunities to expand and improve collaborations between research teams.
A CRE may be a single physical entity or institute, or be a geographically disparate network linking across more than one institution. Centres are encouraged to collaborate with, and participate in, international research studies. Funding will commence in 2012 and be offered for five years.
