Clinical academics are well positioned to integrate research into healthcare, informed by clinical practice and priority areas, and play a vital role in translation of research into practice.

The Monash Partners Strategic Translation and Research (STAR) Program invests in emerging and mid-career clinical academics to support career pathway development and train the next generation of researchers.

The STAR Program responds to an identified need to strengthen and build the multi-disciplinary clinical academic workforce. It is designed to foster and embed research into practice and equip clinical academics with important skills, knowledge and experience that support career progression toward future leadership roles.

The program consists of:

Clinician fellows program

The competitively awarded Fellows Program supports future medical, nursing, midwifery and allied health leaders to undertake research projects directly relevant to their chosen field of work, embedding research and translation into healthcare.

Offered to early and mid-career clinicians currently working in a Monash Partners health service, the Fellows program will provide a part-time research salary for up to two years, as well as mentoring, training and networking opportunities.

2023 program

Thank you to all who applied for the 2023 program. We look forward to working with our new Fellows over the next two years to embed research into healthcare for impact.
