Our research
We have four priorities for research to support the needs of our patients and the community.
With communities, for communities
We're building strong partnerships to focus our research on the priority health needs of our communities and creating a positive environment for research across our region.
Reducing barriers, improving care
We're turning research into action by using what we learn to improve clinical care, service delivery, policies, and models of care.
Great people, great work
We're ensuring our staff have the skills and support to do research as part of their everyday work and that our leaders play an active role in encouraging research and sharing outcomes.
Building the right foundations
We're designing systems and tools that grow with us to make it easier for staff to get involved in research.
Our research projects
Find our research projects and other information on the Queensland Health Database of Research Activity (DoRA 2.0) website.
Research for better mental health
Working with Queensland's leading mental health research facility.
Studies at the Queensland Centre for Mental Health Research (QCMHR) are leading to better treatments and services that improve lives and reduce the impact of mental illness in our community.
