CAHPR research practitioner framework
A competency framework that describes the integrated knowledge and skills that an AHP needs in order to perform applied research within a range of practice settings and at different levels of complexity.
The scope of the Strategy addresses four domains. Each of these aspects are inter-dependent and are all equally important to achieve transformational impact and sustainable change.
- Capacity and engagement of the AHP workforce community, to implement research into practice;
- Capability for individuals to undertake and achieve excellence in research and innovation activities, roles, careers and leadership;
- Context for AHPs to have equitable access to sustainable support, infrastructures and investment;
- Culture for AHP perceptions and expectations of professional identities and roles that “research is everybody’s business”.
