PHC RED is funded by the Commonwealth Department of Health and Ageing under the PHC RED Strategy.
The Primary Health Care Research, Evaluation and Development (PHCRED)
Strategy is a groundbreaking program funded by the Australian Government
since 2000 to improve Australia’s capacity to produce high quality primary
health care research. In building research capacity, the Strategy offers
opportunities for research training, support and experience spanning the full
researcher development continuum. The major Strategy components are:

The Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI): tasked
with providing leadership in primary health care research;

The Research Capacity Building Initiative (RCBI): funding University
Departments of General Practice and Rural Health to provide training and
support in primary health care research for early career researchers;

A program of Training Awards, and investigator-driven and priority-driven
clinical research grants: administered by the National Health and Medical
Research Council (NHMRC)
; and

The Primary Health Care Research and Information Service (PHCRIS):
providing support in the area of dissemination and knowledge-exchange.
