We partner with universities, health services and teams across NSW Health on research that benefits the health system. We welcome new partnerships and encourage you to get in touch early.
Contacting us while your proposal is still in draft gives us time to understand your project and work with you on how we can support it.
In most cases, our support is in-kind. This usually includes providing expert advice, which may be ongoing or provided as needed.
If you’re seeking the Clinical Excellence Commission’s (CEC) involvement or endorsement, email cec-knowledge@health.nsw.gov.au

To help us review your request, please include:
- a short outline of your project
