This collaborative research proposal brings together an outstanding team of population health researchers with a team of highly talented Indigenous achievers, including two medical doctors, two researchers who have completed doctorates and seven with Masters degrees. The primary aim of this capacity building grant is to develop a critical mass of Indigenous researchers undertaking high quality research into population health research priorities determined by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and to link research findings into policy and practice. Over a period of five years, Indigenous researchers will be linked with centres of excellence in research elsewhere in Australia and internationally. The researchers will develop and enhance their skills in research around four major themes. The first aims to improve quality of relevant research, increase Indigenous people's participation in research and identify optimal ways of providing feedback of research findings. The second theme is around the provision and use of health services to develop a better understanding of the best and most cost-effective ways of providing preventive and acute care for Indigenous Australians. The third theme looks at lifestyle, behaviours and susceptibility to disease and the fourth theme at factors in people's lives that influence health in a positive way- pathways to resilience and wellbeing. At the end of the five year grant, the number of Indigenous people engaged in population health research will have increased substantially and some will be leading their own research teams. There will be a significant increase in population health research undertaken by Indigenous researchers on issues affecting the health of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. There will be improved mechanisms in place to ensure that evidence from research is used to inform policy decisions such as funding and appropriate interventions.

这一合作研究建议汇集了一支杰出的人口健康研究人员队伍和一支极具才华的土著成就者队伍，其中包括两名医生、两名获得博士学位的研究人员和七名获得硕士学位的研究人员。这项能力建设赠款的主要目的是培养一支临界数量的土著研究人员，对土著和托雷斯海峡岛民确定的人口健康研究优先事项进行高质量的研究，并将研究结果与政策和实践联系起来。在五年的时间里，土著研究人员将与澳大利亚和国际其他地方的优秀研究中心建立联系。研究人员将围绕四个主要主题发展和提高他们的研究技能。第一个目标是提高有关研究的质量，增加土著人民对研究的参与，并确定提供研究结果反馈的最佳方式。第二个主题是关于保健服务的提供和使用，以便更好地了解为土著澳大利亚人提供预防性和急症护理的最佳和最具成本效益的方法。第三个主题关注生活方式、行为和对疾病的易感性，第四个主题关注人们生活中对健康有积极影响的因素——通往复原力和福祉的途径。在五年期赠款结束时，从事人口健康研究的土著人民人数将大大增加，其中一些人将领导自己的研究小组。土著研究人员将大量增加对影响土著和托雷斯海峡岛民健康问题的人口健康研究。将有改进的机制，以确保来自研究的证据被用来为诸如资助和适当干预等决策提供信息。
