Research Portal KWHB
Katherine West Health Board welcomes health research that results in positive tangible outcomes for our communities. Health research in KWHB communities must reflect the priorities of our Board. These priorities are listed below. For Katherine West Health Board to consider participating in research, researchers need to explain why and how their research fulfils these criteria. For further information about the research application process, click here.
Research Portal Submission Deadlines
All research project submissions must be uploaded to the portal by the end date of the research submission. These deadlines align with Board meetings, ensuring the research working group has time to review and present projects to the Board. Late submissions will need to wait for the next scheduled Board meeting (see dates below). Board decisions will be communicated to researchers shortly after each meeting.
