                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Knowledge of the benefits and harms of alternative means to prevent, diagnose, treat and monitor clinical conditions or improve the delivery of care is needed to transform health outcomes and reduce the amount of low value care. Evidence of health benefits and economic value will inform decisions about health care investment and disinvestment at the individual and population level.
Demonstrate the comparative clinical and cost effectiveness of health interventions to identify and improve the delivery of high value care and to minimise unnecessary, ineffective, and harmful health interventions. This includes the generation of a range of evidence, including through innovative clinical trials, health economic evaluation, and analysis of real-world data, to enable ongoing assessment of interventions, care models and health technologies.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               Support research to address targeted evidence gaps of value to health technology assessment processes in Australia, to inform funding and delivery of the most effective care.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Promoting and improving health in Australia requires sustained research effort to define ways of reducing preventable illness, disability, and avoidable death. Effective health promotion and integration of individual, population-based and structural interventions within and alongside health care will improve wellbeing, address risk factors and co-morbidities, provide better support for self-care interventions, and reduce the burden of disease. This includes consideration of the social, cultural and commercial determinants of health.
Invest in preventive and public health research that can be translated into evidence-based health care, policies and systemic changes to maximise health and wellbeing, reduce the burden of disease, improve health equity and deliver social and economic benefits.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Support research that improves approaches to fostering health literacy, enables individuals to make self-care decisions, and addresses structural barriers to good health to improve individual and population health outcomes.

Primary Care Research

Support primary care research with an emphasis on multidisciplinary collaboration, adaptive research methodologies, innovative models of care, and clinician capability.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             The growing complexity of care environments and increase in chronic and complex diseases make practitioner and care team decisions increasingly challenging.
