The Illawarra Health and Medical Research Institute (IHMRI) is a joint initiative of the University of Wollongong (UOW) and the (Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District ) (ISLHD). Established in 2008, IHMRI’s goal is to foster, support and grow health and medical research in the Illawarra region by connecting and supporting academic and clinician researchers around research problems of relevance to the region and the world. By providing research leadership, coordination, infrastructure, facilities and other support to researchers throughout the Illawarra, IHMRI provides a focal point for health and medical research in the region, builds research capacity within the public and private health sectors and seeks to deliver results that are directly applicable to improved clinical practice, health service delivery and public health. ==IHMRI Research Program== In 2014 IHMRI announced a new, three-year Research Strategy as part of a broad-ranging strategic planning and governance review. The strategy recognises existing research strengths and groupings within the University of Wollongong (UOW) and Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) and research areas for potential development. It also aligns IHMRI-affiliated researchers with IHMRI’s research priorities and provides targeted strategies and actions to advance the institute’s research program in line with national policy and local needs. The new research program is now organised around three broad-based themes which span the translational research continuum encompassing basic science through to clinical, population and public health research: *Diagnostics and Therapeutics *Mental Health and the Ageing Brain *Chronic Conditions and Lifestyle The program brings nationally and internationally recognised experts, including those directly involved in clinical service delivery, from a wide range of disciplines and fields together to collaborate on cross disciplinary studies. The strategy also recognises a number of clusters where a critical mass of expertise (or emerging expertise) provides a focus around particular research priorities. These clusters exist both within and across themes. One such cluster is the Illawarra Health Insights program, which brings researchers from across the themes together to gather data on the current and long-term health of the local community. The aim is to understand the health behaviours of local residents so that more effective population-based approaches can be taken to managing chronic diseases. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Illawarra Health & Medical Research Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
