  • Productivity Commission Review of Health and Medical Research Issues
    Productivity Commission Review of Health and Medical Research Issues Submission from the School of Public Health (SPH), University of Adelaide (UoA). Introduction: Research Performance and the School of Public Health The SPH has an effective cohort of productive researchers that are nationally and internationally competitive. The SPH is disproportionally productive and impactful within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences (FHMS) in terms of research, given the staffing available. Over the preceding 5 years, the SPH has had: the highest number of international high-cite researchers in the FHMS, an average category 1 grant success rate of 50%, by far the greatest success of any School in FHMS in terms of Category 2-4 grants and contract research (in both quantity and funding amount), the highest PhD completion rate in the FHMS, and the most numerous and best examples of health and medical research impact (which have been used in national Excellence in Research for Australia exercises). Approximately two thirds of recent PhD theses submitted from SPH have received Dean’s Commendations for Doctoral Thesis Excellence. Information request 3.1: policy environment • Is the division of policy responsibilities between national and state governments clear? We believe that the division of policy responsibilities between national and state governments is reasonably clear. • What, if any, areas of duplication, gaps or inconsistencies exist? None. • Is there alignment between state and national policy and research priorities? Broadly, yes. However, how well the strategic research objectives and activities of SA research institutions align with State/National priorities and global opportunities is very unclear. This matter is worthy of further investigation by the Commission.
