Call for Abstracts: 4th Annual NHMRC Symposium on Research Translation

The National Health and Medical Research Council has opened its Call for Abstracts for its 4th Annual NHMRC Symposium on Research Translation.

The theme for this year is "Policy and Research: Working together to improve the health of Australians". This year the Symposium is being held in collaboration with the Centre for Informing Policy in Health with Evidence from Research (CIPHER).

The Symposium will aim to create more effective working relationships between health and medical researchers and policy makers. Knowledge exchange, better engagement and integration of policy makers with researchers, and the provision of systems to allow this to happen are some key areas that the Symposium will cover.

Professor Chris Ham (CEO, The King's Fund, UK) and Professor John Lavis (McMasters University, Canada), both leaders in health systems and policy, will be two of the Plenary speakers at the Symposium this year.

For all enquiries, please contact abstracts@nhmrc2015.com. The deadline for submissions is 1 May, 2015.
