Research Careers Development Framework

Metro North is committed to supporting the development of research careers for our workforce. The Queensland Health Allied Health Research Careers Development Framework aims to describe the unique capabilities of allied health clinicians engaged in research, translation of research into practice, and research leadership across the diverse and developing roles of the Queensland Health clinical and research environment. The Framework can be used to support the development of career pathways for staff interested in pursuing an embedded research career that integrates both clinical and research skills.

Whilst created for the Allied Health workforce Metro North’s Office of Research endorses and supports the Framework to support the development of career pathways for all staff interested in pursuing an embedded research career that integrates both clinical and research skills. A number of case studies have been provided within the Framework to illustrate how the current skills of clinician researchers map onto the Framework.  These cases illustrate the Framework can account for each individuals’ unique circumstance. The Allied Health Research Careers Development Individual Assessment pack is a useful tool that assists assist Clinician Researchers assess their capabilities across five core domains. This tool can be used both independently or with a manager for career planning.
