National Indigenous Research(er) Capacity Building Network (IRNet)

National Indigenous Research(er) Capacity Building Network

We aim to support and grow the next generation of Indigenous researchers working in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health.

The National Indigenous Research(er) Capacity Building Network (IRNet) is about co-creating opportunities to connect research and researchers to improve the health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people across Australia. It aims to support the connection and coordination of research training, translation, methodological development and project collaboration across AHRA, and includes training and support to develop skills in knowledge translation and exchange, as well as practical experience in the implementation of research evidence in the real-world context of health services and communities.

IRNet's three priorities are to:

Progress and strengthen a robust Indigenous Research(er) Network
Invest and develop the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander workforce
Enhance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research(er) capabilities.
