CREATE - Strengthens socially accountable research

CREATE (Community-engaged Research in Education, Advocacy and System Transformation for Advancing Health Equity) is a seven-year international research partnership funded by a Canadian Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Partnership Grant and led by Northern Ontario School of Medicine University. 

The program brings together universities, health organisations and community partners across Canada, the United States and Australia to strengthen socially accountable research that responds to community priorities and supports health system improvement. 

RDN – The Charity for Health Access hosts the Australian CREATE Global Site through Australian Centre for Health Access (ACHA). In this role, ACHA leads Australia’s contribution to CREATE, combining international collaboration with locally grounded research focused on health access, community partnership and system-level change. Participation in CREATE enables ACHA to contribute Australian applied evidence to a global network while drawing on international learning to inform policy, investment and practice.
