support translation of research by encouraging a more effective integration of research evidence into health policy
and service delivery. It provides funding for researchers and partner agencies to work together, define questions,
undertake research, interpret the findings and to translate the findings into health policy and health practice. The
policy and/or practice partner provides support for the research as cash and/or in-kind support.
