Postgraduate Research Program

The Research Unit, as part of the University of Adelaide, offers supervision to Doctoral and Masters degrees-by-research students. Postgraduate students enrolled with the University of Adelaide and receiving supervision within the Institute are provided with access to all Joanna Briggs Resources including a fully networked work station and are integrated into the Institute’s extensive international work program. A number of Joanna Briggs Institute supplemental scholarships (AUS$4000 per annum) are available to holders of an Australian Postgraduate Award Scholarship or equivalent. Supervision is offered in the following areas:

Evidence Review and Synthesis

Evidence Transfer
Including the study of the use of electronic and print media in knowledge transfer; guideline development; embedding evidence in organisational systems; and consumer involvement.

Evidence Utilisation
Including the evaluation of methods of implementing evidence based guidelines; clinical audit and feedback; and action-oriented approaches to barrier identification and change management in clinical practice improvement.
