DVA is implementing a new research and evaluation model known as the Veteran and Family – Learning and Innovation Network of Knowledge (VF-LINK).
The aim of VF-LINK is to improve the health and wellbeing of veterans and families by increasing the production, use and sharing of evidence to support decision-making and policy, program and service design.
Following an open and competitive tender, DVA and Phoenix Australia have entered a strategic partnership to deliver on a VF-LINK. This partnership will see Phoenix Australia lead a consortium that brings together leading researchers and research translators with expertise in suicide and suicide prevention, mental and physical health, codesign, innovative treatment research and evaluation. .
This is an exciting opportunity to support new research, to build and retain expertise through longer term partnerships, and to promote collaborations that appropriately maximise the use of existing studies, data sources and experts.
