RAUGH Collaborative Seed Grants

The RAUGH Collaborative Seed Grants are designed to build and strengthen collaborations between the Metro North Health and IUIH health workforce and The University of Queensland through the UQ Poche Centre for Indigenous Health (UQ Poche Centre) to support the transformation of health service delivery across the Community Controlled Health sector (CCHS) and the mainstream secondary and tertiary health system through coordinated care pathways. Research funded through this program will form the basis for ongoing research collaborations and potential applications for nationally competitive funding. 

The key objectives of the Collaborative Seed Grants are to:

  • support the co-design of new First Nations-focused services, programs and initiatives with community that address gaps and barriers within the current health system

  • generate evidence that existing shared services, programs and initiatives between
    Metro North Health and IUIH focused on First Peoples are effective

  • generate the evidence base that supports prioritisation, roll out and uptake of new shared care pathways, programs and initiatives between the CCHS sector and the mainstream public health care system

  • enhance the translation of research outcomes into benefits for First Peoples
    and communities

  • foster a two-way learning opportunity between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Metro North Health and IUIH health professionals and UQ Poche Centre researchers

  • support professional career development of the Indigenous health workforce within Metro North Health and IUIH through building research capability and capacity
