NTMP Research
NTMP staff and adjunct academics generate research outcomes in many health related fields. NTMP collaborates with many research partners including Menzies School of Health Research, Centre for Remote Health, Charles Darwin University and the Department of Health and Families.
Research Fund
The NTMP provides its faculty with pecuniary support for research through a small grants scheme, the Projects for Research in Medical Education and Rural Health (PRIMERH) Fund. The objectives of this fund are two-fold: (1) to foster cross-theme, multidisciplinary research in rural, remote, and Territory health or health education, and (2) to train and establish new investigators capable of undertaking research relevant to Northern Territory health or clinical education.
PRIMERH funds are to be utilised for exploratory/developmental research projects, pilot studies to collect preliminary data for external grant applications, student research assignments, and projects addressing educational issues relating to the NTMP teaching and learning environment.
For further information on NTMP research activies or the PRIMERH fund please contact the Research Officer .
