Centres of Clinical Research Excellence (CCRE)
Applications for funding under this Scheme have ceased. Refer to the Centres of Research Excellence (CRE) Scheme for further information.
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.
