About the Institute
Joanna Briggs Institute Programs
The strategic organisational goals of the Institute are met through four defined programs (‘Research and Innovation', ‘Communication and Collaboration', ‘Resource Utilisation, Education and Training' and ‘Administration and Finance'). These programs seek to service JBI members and subscribers and to strengthen the Institute at the national and international level as a centre of excellence for healthcare evidence synthesis, transfer and utilisation and to advance the Institute's activities at an operational level.
Research and Innovation
The Research and Innovation program of the Institute focuses on creativity, innovation and the conduct of theoretical, scientific and pragmatic operational research. It consists of three major areas of activity, namely methodological development, evidence review and externally funded research and consultancy. This work often involves collaboration with international experts and investment in theory development.
Communications and Collaboration
The Communications and Collaboration program of the Institute focuses on articulating the key messages of the Institute to all stakeholders, both internal and external. Strategic communication strategies are developed and utilised to define and disseminate core messages and foster ongoing dialogue with and support of key constituents to ensure all communication is meaningful and context appropriate.
Resource Utilisation, Education and Training
The Resource Utilisation, Education and Training program of the Institute focuses primarily on the creation of educational programs where participant learning is based on individual interest, context, experience and expertise for health professionals from all disciplines. It also coordinates a program to support evidence utilisation and practice change.
Administration and Finance
The Administration and Finance program of the Institute focuses on administrative, fiscal, human, logistical, technological and physical resources and also encompasses membership services. As such it is responsible for the delivery of business, administrative and support services to the various other programs of the Institute.
