Following an Australian Government decision in August 2006, the National Institute of Clinical Studies (NICS), was incorporated into NHMRC on 1 April 2007.
While NICS staff continued to work on programs initiated prior to 2007, as part of NHMRC they also undertook initiatives to align with NHMRC’s strategic objectives. This included continued work to bring the best available evidence into everyday practice such as clinical guideline implementation and clinical leadership initiatives. A number of NICS projects and materials are summarised below.
