Externally commissioned research

At the Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare, we pride ourselves on our reputation for producing outstanding health and medical research both domestically and internationally. Over the past 5 years, our team has secured over $30 million in grant funding (including leadership fellowships centres for research excellence and Medical Research Future Fund) and have published 500 peer-reviewed research articles. This includes over 130 reviews, more than 50 surveys, and participation in numerous clinical trials both in Australia and overseas.

We are also proud to lead the Australasian EQUATOR Centre (Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health Research), one of only five centres globally dedicated to developing and disseminating research reporting guidelines.
