The Sax Institute is a coalition of over 30 universities and
research centres across NSW. The Institute is funded by
NSW Health to improve health outcomes and services by
building policy and practice focused research and increasing
the impact of this research on health policy, programs and
services. The Institute’s ‘Getting Research into Policy and
Practice’ (GRIPP) program was established to develop new
models for linking research with policy and practice. This
report outlines the background to the development of the
GRIPP program and describes some of the program’s key
achievements to date.
