Objectives

The Accelerated Research Implementation Grants aim to support high achieving research teams who have the ability and capacity to:

• Rapidly implement current research into clinical practice that will improve cancer care or cancer outcomes within three years
• Demonstrate a logical pipeline of research implementation across the three years of funding
• Demonstrate a scalability plan to roll out initiatives to multiple sites within NSW
• Demonstrate a sustainability plan to ensure continued application of the research implementation past the funding period
• Demonstrate an evaluation approach that includes both process measures and outcome measures
• Assemble a team with the relevant skills and a track record of working together for the entire program which will, by definition, be multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional. This will need to include clinical partners that span metropolitan and non-metropolitan health care settings.
