HEALTHY AGEING - PREVENTION AND INTERVENTION (HA-PI) NETWORK:
A RESEARCH NETWORK PROPOSAL ON THE BIOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND PRIMARY CARE DYNAMICS OF AGEING
. Australian ageing research is dispersed across bioscience, social science and primary care organisations. Advances in healthy, productive ageing require connection of these three vital links. Bioscience and social science groupings are engaged in generating the evidence that primary care experts need to promote healthy ageing.

A RESEARCH NETWORK PROPOSAL ON THE BIOLOGICAL, SOCIAL AND PRIMARY CARE DYNAMICS OF AGEING
. Australian ageing research is dispersed across bioscience, social science and primary care organisations. Advances in healthy, productive ageing require connection of these three vital links. Bioscience and social science groupings are engaged in generating the evidence that primary care experts need to promote healthy ageing. Primary care experts also need to act as ?direction finders? for research on ageing so that the right questions are addressed. All these groups are relatively under-funded and poorly connected. The HA-PI Network will connect and support them to over-come barriers to the implementation of existing research and to create innovations for the future.Read moreRead less

Summary
Australian Indigenous Knowledges and Research Network (AIKRN). The development of a multi-cross discipline, collaborative Australian Indigenous Knowledges and Research Network, working in full-partnership with Indigenous communities, would assist the development of Indigenous studies in areas encompassing personal wellbeing, social, political, management, economic, cultural and physical studies and improvement of the Indigenous holistic individual and collective well-being and independence. The ....Australian Indigenous Knowledges and Research Network (AIKRN). The development of a multi-cross discipline, collaborative Australian Indigenous Knowledges and Research Network, working in full-partnership with Indigenous communities, would assist the development of Indigenous studies in areas encompassing personal wellbeing, social, political, management, economic, cultural and physical studies and improvement of the Indigenous holistic individual and collective well-being and independence. The Network will facilitate research outcomes which position, improve, empower and encourage Indigenous self-management of the research agenda. Integral to this is the ongoing development and support of Indigenous researchers as a key focus of the collective harnessing and promotion of positive research training best practice.Read moreRead less

Summary
Historiography of Aboriginal Queensland Nurses and Midwives 1890s-1950s. This project aims to investigate the histories of Aboriginal Queensland women who trained as nurses or midwives from the 1890s - 1950s, countering existing assumptions that First Nations women could not access education and employment and were 'just domestics'. Anticipated outcomes of this project include the generation of new knowledge in the field of Australian history, and the creation of cross-cultural, inter-disciplina ....Historiography of Aboriginal Queensland Nurses and Midwives 1890s-1950s. This project aims to investigate the histories of Aboriginal Queensland women who trained as nurses or midwives from the 1890s - 1950s, countering existing assumptions that First Nations women could not access education and employment and were 'just domestics'. Anticipated outcomes of this project include the generation of new knowledge in the field of Australian history, and the creation of cross-cultural, inter-disciplinary and community capacity to research innovative histories of Aboriginal women in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Australia. For Aboriginal communities and the nation, a significant benefit expected from the project is a new understanding of Aboriginal women’s participation in the educated, paid workforce.Read moreRead less
