Current Funding

Current and recent Research Funding to JCU is shown by funding source and project.

Western Queensland Primary Care Collaborative Limited - Research Grant

Co-designing and evaluating youth mental health services in remote, Central and NW Qld.

Indicative Funding: $207,800 over 2 years
Summary: This project will trial place-based youth (aged 12-25 years) mental health service models in remote Queensland communities. Co-design workshops will be conducted with young people and key stakeholders in North West Queensland (NWQ) and Central West Queensland (CWQ). The workshops will identify and prioritise youth mental health needs, incorporate young people's input in service design, structure and delivery, and co-define service effectiveness indicators. Based on workshop findings, WQPHN will commission appropriate service to offer mental health assessments, referral and clinical service delivery in NWQ. In the final stage, model evaluation will be conducted to improve service delivery and inform future rollout of services.

Diabetes Collaborative Evaluation Project

Indicative Funding: $28,860 over 1 year
Summary: The diabetes collaborative is a Continuous quality Improvement (CQI) approach to change that aims to improve health outcomes for patients diagnosed with Diabetes. It involves the introduction of a team-based, sustainable approach to learning whilst providing a sound understanding and application of quality improvement methodology and skills. This project aims to evaluate the implementation and outcomes of the WQPHN diabetes collaborative. Expected outcomes of the equation will be a greater understanding of the process of implementation and any changes within participant health services as a result of the collaborative. Evaluation of the program in the rural and remote context of WQPHN will inform on feasibility and effectiveness of this approach.
