The HRC’s Health Delivery Research Investment Round supports research that will directly contribute to improved healthcare delivery by informing decisions or changes to policy, practice or systems in the New Zealand health and disability sector.
Our Health Delivery Research Activation Grant is designed to help people get ready for research by establishing health delivery research evidence needs, research opportunities, or research capacity before applying for larger-scale funding. Meanwhile, our Health Delivery Research Career Development Award provides an opportunity for a funded placement in a health delivery research team or health sector setting. It is designed as an alternative pathway into health delivery research aimed at attracting more people with relevant skills into this discipline.
We are delighted to be increasing our engagement with the health sector in research through these grants. Research conceived and carried out by those working in healthcare settings is a powerful ingredient in healthcare improvement. Growing this research and expertise will have exciting benefits for health and wellbeing outcomes in New Zealand.
