Unlocking Research Capital
Research has the capacity to change lives and to build to the future. The creation of new knowledge is an important role of universities. The College of Nursing and Health Sciences at Flinders University is committed to improving health and social outcomes for individuals and for communities.
The Unlocking Research Capital (URC) Project is looking at how we can use our professional connections and relationships to understand research needs and to build an understanding of the contribution that research can make. Three sets of projects are being undertaken
- Mapping of our community and professional relationships
- Developing educational resources to build skills in working with organisations, health services and community groups
- Consolidating partnerships by providing an online Translation and Evidence Centre for nursing and allied health
These activities will strengthen our partnership and position ourselves to seek research funds and conduct research studies that have practical value for our community.
Within the URC Project section, there are a series of different resources that have been developed from the three themes to support health researchers to undertake research, to build and maintain successful collaborative relationships with other researchers and to build skills in finding and analysing evidence to support research.
Resources in the URC section include:
- Learning modules, videos and links to educational opportunities to build understanding of research and processes, building relationships and applying for grants are available in the Learning Centre
- Evidence Centre provides high quality information on the importance of evidence in research and in clinical practice; finding, interpreting and appraising the evidence and links to search filters within online resources designed to retrieve literature based on specific search criteria
- Systematic Reviews from researchers within Flinders University College of Nursing and Health Sciences are featured and include author notes describing why the systematic review was undertaken and the implications of the findings on clinical practice
- One Click Searching are search filters developed by experts at Flinders Filters that can help to find high quality literature from PubMed by either profession or by health condition
- More information on how Flinders University Caring Futures Institute can assist with building collaborative relationships with industry partners
