Doing research? Think Anne Harrison Award

Following on from my previous post about the research-practice gap, give some thought to applying for the Anne Harrison Award or at least encouraging someone you know who's engaged in research to do so.

And don't discount the possible significance of any action-research you might be conducting in the workplace. If you're unsure whether your local project is up to par, check with the AH administrators (all lovely, approachable indiviuals) or drop me a line and I'll pass it onto the right people.

The other group of professionals who should consider the AH Award are those doing relevant post-grad studies, where the course includes a research component. What better way to support and/or get that hard work out to the masses...via the AH Award!

The Award makes available $3000 for:

• A research project which will increase the understanding of health librarianship in Australia;
• Exploring the potential for the further development of health librarianship in Australia;
• Assistance towards enrichment of knowledge and skills of Australian health sciences librarians, including funding to help meet expenses of an approved course of study or study tour, or to help meet expenses arising from a publication in the field of Australian health librarianship.
