The INSIGHT Methodology Hub is a one-stop shop for researchers and partners that ensures our research is context-relevant, problem-focused, highly translatable and centred on end-users. Together, we explore the broad pathways to research translation and implementation.
Methodology Hub
We work alongside those who receive and deliver healthcare, including local health districts, hospitals, clinicians, care providers, allied health professionals, state and federal government, industry, local community, and not-for-profits and NGOs. We support these partners by offering integrated solutions that span biostatistics, data science, clinical trials, implementation science, life course epidemiology, health economic evaluation, econometric modelling, and AI.
