It’s wonderful to be announcing some great news so early in
the New Year - two CQUniversity led projects have been awarded prestigious
Federal Government, Office of Learning and Teaching (OLT) grants.
Congratulations must go to Professor Kerry Reid-Searl and
Associate Professor Trudy Dwyer who have been awarded a $300,000 grant, to
develop a toolkit to facilitate work-ready nursing graduates. The project will
help to boost patient safety through innovative simulation exercises involving
dramatisation of key health scenarios and role-play participation by
undergraduate nursing students.
Kerry and Trudy will lead the two-year project in
partnership with academics from the Australian Catholic University, the
University of Newcastle and the University of the Sunshine Coast.
Further congratulations must also go to Professor Denise
Wood and Professor Bronwyn Fredericks who have gained a grant worth $320,000 to
carry out research that will bring about an understanding of the factors that
impact on higher education outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
students. The study will involve cross-sector collaboration and a participatory
action research approach.
Denise and Bronwyn will lead the project in collaboration
with academics from Charles Darwin University, University of South Australia,
the University of Newcastle and James Cook University.
Well done to Kerry, Trudy, Denise and Bronwyn. A fantastic
outcome and a great way to start the year!
