From the Executive Director: Year in review

Monash Partners would like to thank all we have worked with in 2024. Your support has ensured we continue to enhance health research and research translation to improve the health of our community

This year has seen us deliver our five year strategic plan, CONNECT | SUPPORT | IMPACT 2030. We extend our appreciation to all those healthcare leaders, health professionals, consumers and researchers who contributed to this vision.

Additional to our strategy work, some highlights from this past year have included:

  • Hosted and co-hosted over 55 events to over 2,400 people,
  • Bestowed our inaugural Early and Mid-Career Research Awards to recognise excellence,
  • Informed the Review of the National Statement on Consumer and Community Involvement in Health and Medical Research (the Statement),
  • Formed a working group to identify opportunities for a partnership approach to the governance of research and clinical trials involving Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across our community,
  • Commenced a review of the 2019 Remuneration and Reimbursement Guidelines for Consumer and Community Involvement Activity to help improve their relevance, currency and usefulness,
  • Partnered to offer the 2024 Implementation Mentoring Program including a scholarship to support real-world mentoring, education, tailored support, and exposure to easy-to-use improvement and implementation tools,
  • Awarded Equity Trustees and Monash Partners 2024 Clinician Fellowships, and
  • Supported six projects addressing unmet clinical needs through our clinical innovation partnership with the Monash Institute of Medical Engineering (MIME).
