Our Research Impact team are world leaders in enabling and evaluating health and medical research impact, advancing optimising real-world benefits from our discoveries.
Our team collaborates with researchers, partner organisations, government, funders, and policymakers to drive more impactful health and medical research through impact planning including translation planning.Â
We lead strategies to measure the impact of health and medical research from across the entire research translation spectrum: from basic science, clinical trials, to health services research and public health.Â
HMRI’s team of leading research impact practitioners are here to help researchers and research teams optimise, evidence, assess, and report on the impact of their research.
Our work in impact is facilitating more evidence-based research to be translated into policy, practice or to be commercialised – all with the goal of delivering better health outcomes for our communities.
Our team also has experience in evaluating the impact of state-wide and national funding schemes, influencing national policy and optimising the returns from government investments in research
The relationship between research and impact is often indirect, non-linear and not well understood. It depends on complex interactions and collaboration across the entire health innovation system.
Evaluating research impact is becoming a key measure of the success and contribution of health and medical research.
At HMRI, we take a multi-faceted approach taking into consideration a wide range of social, economic, capacity building, infrastructure, clinical practice and policy impacts.
Our Research Impact team has developed a world-leading framework for undertaking research impact assessments: The Framework to Assess the Impact from Translational health research (FAIT). Â
FAIT was created to encourage research translation and measure research impact in a multi-dimensional way. It combines three proven methodologies to address limitations of existing tools and frameworks. We use impact metrics, qualitative narratives and economic methods of impact assessment.
Researchers, universities, health organisations, and other medical research institutes across Australia and the world are applying FAIT to their health research projects, highlighting HMRI’s trusted reputation in the field. Â
HMRI would like to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live, the Awabakal and Worimi peoples, and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We recognise and respect their cultural heritage and beliefs and their continued connection to their land.
