Health Sciences research specialties
The School of Health Sciences has research strengths within all school disciplines. Academic staff research experience and current research activities provide expertise in a broad range of areas. Our research programs coupled with our staff expertise and research collaboration within RMIT, RMIT Clinics and organisational links provides diverse research opportunities for our students.
A new Strategic Plan for Research (2010-2014) (PDF 75KB 12p) was adopted by the School Executive in late 2009. The Plan outlines a set of initiatives that will build capacity and outputs in five main areas of research strength:
- Applied Psychology and Health (APAH),
- Traditional and Complimentary Medicine (TCM),
- Teaching and Learning,
- Wellness, and
- Public and Mental Health, and Disability Services.
As part of the Plan, three funding schemes were implemented in the School in 2010:
- Project grants for designated strength groups (APAH, TCM, and Teaching and Learning) (DOC 102KB 5p),
- New and Emerging Researcher Initiative (NERI) (DOC 74KB 3p), and
- General Research Development Fund (GRDF) (DOC 82KB 4p).
