Our commitment to supporting researchers was further demonstrated through the Research Development Grants scheme. Congratulations to Dr Edward Zimbudzi, Dr Katrina Recoche, and Dr Van Nguyen on their successful applications—we look forward to the outcomes of their work.
MNM continues to strengthen its partnerships, particularly through new joint appointments with our health service collaborators. These roles enhance collaboration and ensure our research remains relevant to MNM, our partners, and the broader community. We were also privileged to host four international visitors from Germany, Denmark, and Taiwan, fostering global research connections.
Delivering impactful solutions remains central to our mission. This is evident in our work with the National Centre for Healthy Ageing and the A-PRECISE project, aimed at improving the care and safety of residents in aged care homes. Additionally, the Improving support for CALD carers transitioning older adults from hospital to community project is advancing support for CALD carers transitioning older adults from hospital to the community, ensuring appropriate resources are available for informal carers during this critical period.
It is also essential to celebrate our collective successes. Special congratulations to Professor Neils Buus, who was inducted into the Sigma International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame, and Dr Edward Zimbudzi, recipient of both the Sigma Emerging Nurse Researcher Award and the Monash Partners Award for Health Services Research. These prestigious recognitions reflect the high-impact research undertaken by both scholars.
Finally, I extend my sincere gratitude to the faculty, sub-faculty, and Monash Research Office for their ongoing support. It is an honour to serve as MNM’s Director of Research, and I am deeply appreciative of the team’s dedication. A special thanks to Ms Emma Craige, Research Executive Officer, and A/Professor Wendy Pollock, Deputy Director of Research, for their outstanding contributions throughout the year.
