IMPROVING HEALTH OUTCOMES IN THE TROPICAL NORTH: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION (HOT NORTH)

Abstract

Improving Health Outcomes in the Tropical North will strengthen partnerships with research institutions in the NT, Qld, WA, NSW, Vic and SA, by undertaking a research agenda that will help close the gap in Indigenous health disadvantage, protect the north from emerging infectious threats and engage regional neighbours. We will establish a northern Australian network that incorporates Indigenous engagement, mentoring and knowledge translation, and facilitates collaboration with southern partners.
