The Primary Health Care Research, Evaluation and Development (PHCRED) Strategy is a groundbreaking program funded by the Australian Government since 2000 to improve Australia’s capacity to produce high quality primary health care research. In building research capacity, the Strategy offers opportunities for research training, support and experience spanning the full researcher development continuum.
An independent evaluation of the PHCRED Strategy took place during 2008, with the final report provided to the Department of Health and Ageing at the end of January 2009. View the summary of this report as well as details of the 2005 independent evaluation on the PHCRED Strategy Evaluation reports webpage
