Abstract

The Sax Institute is a coalition of over 30 universities and research centres across NSW. The Institute is funded by NSW Health to improve health outcomes and services by building policy and practice focused research and increasing the impact of this research on health policy, programs and services. The Institute's 'Getting Research into Policy and Practice' (GRIPP) program was established to develop new models for linking research with policy and practice. This report outlines the background to the development of the GRIPP program and describes some of the program's key achievements to date.
