Applications open for free innovation program for researchers – delivered by CSIRO
CSIRO’s ON Prime is a free program designed to help research teams of two to five people take their projects to the next level through customer discovery activities and more. CSIRO work with researchers at any stage of their project across all disciplines.
During the nine weeks of ON Prime, you will develop a deeper understanding of the people who could benefit the most from your research and sharpen your skills to communicate with that audience.
Expert facilitators will support you to build evidence for the impact of your research, so you can make a difference in the world and attract the resources you need along the way.
Outcomes from teams in recent years include:
- attracting new funding sources
- establishing new partnerships
- increasing industry engagement
- improving clarity around the impact and focus of their research
- increasing confidence communicating their research
- licensing IP or creating a new start-up venture.
Participating teams can receive up to $5000 to reward engagement and learning velocity in the program.
Applications close at 5pm on Feb 14th.
(There will be another opportunity to participate later in the year if you cannot make this timeline)
For more details or to apply, go to the On Prime website ON Prime – CSIRO and chat with Trudy Campbell from the GLOBE team who participated in the most recent round of ON PRIME.
Mike Daube Early Career Advocacy Series
The Mike Daube Early Career Advocacy Series aims to support Early Career Researchers to combine review or perspective articles on a topical public health or health promotion issue, with strong calls for action on research, policy, or practice. Articles in this series are written exclusively by ECRs (those within 5 years of the award of their PhDs – with consideration given for those with career interruptions). These articles can be written as single author, or co-authored with other ECRs. We welcome articles from Honours, Masters, and current PhD students. Articles that are published in Health Promotion International fall under the Read and Publish agreement which waives the open access publication fee for Deakin staff and students. This is a great opportunity for ECRs to get their work published and have a voice on important health issues. Guidelines are available here and there is no deadline for submission: https://academic.oup.com/heapro/pages/daube_guidelines

EOI – Book chapters on the use of AI in qualitative research
I have been asked to write 2 chapters in an upcoming textbook about AI in social research, and I was wondering if anyone in IHT might be interested in contributing as a co-author?
The two chapters are about 1) whether AI is an appropriate tool for data analysis in regards to the philosophies of different qualitative research approaches, and 2) the ethical implications of using AI as a data analysis tool in qualitative research overall.
If anyone is interested, can they please contact Danielle Hitch at dani.hitch@deakin.edu.au.
