Menzies School of Health Research is Australia’s only research institution
with a focus on Indigenous, tropical and remote health issues, and at the
outset, it was important that the new Menzies’ website reflects our unique
position in the research community.
In line with our development of a new strategic plan in 2002, we wanted
an innovative, interactive framework to communicate with researchers, research
participants, policy makers, service providers, students and the general community.
As part of our commitment to building close communication with Indigenous
and remote communities, it was also important that this site be a tool for
researchers to provide individual feedback to research participants and to
keep communities informed about the progress of research projects.
Thanks to the support from the Northern Territory Government and CSC, we
believe our new website is reflective of this vision.
Specific Objectives of the MSHR website:
To raise the profile of MSHR and enhance understanding of MSHR’s priorities
and objectives
To provide an overview of MSHR’s outputs and activities
To improve access to MSHR’s research and education programs
To enhance research outcomes by improving collaboration with research partners
and feedback to research participants.
To disseminate research results to health service providers and policy makers.
To further promote MSHR’s reputation & to attract researchers,
students, funding & sponsorship opportunities.
To provide an access point for other sources of information about health
issues affecting Indigenous & remote communities.
