Centres of Clinical Research Excellence (CCRE)
Introduction
The Scheme aims to:
- support clinical research with potential to lead to improved health outcomes for the community;
- foster training of clinical researchers, particularly those with a capacity for independent research and future leadership roles; and
- ensure effective translation of research outcomes into clinical practice.
Researchers are encouraged to collaborate with, and participate in, international research studies. The collaborations may include:
- synergistic approaches between basic biomedical sciences and clinical research and/or between clinical research and population health research or health services research;
- collaborative interactions between different clinical disciplines;
- community consultation with relevant groups; and
- processes for consultation and management of health issues relating to Indigenous Australians.
Funding is awarded for a period of five years.
Currently, the NHMRC funds 23 CCRE, including two designated CCRE in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health.
