Research Synthesis Service

What is the AHURI Research Synthesis Service?

AHURI’s new Research Synthesis Service can provide you with concise analyses and explanations of research evidence on a particular issue, at the time you require it, and in the right format for your needs.
The service offers:

  • fast-turn around
  • responsive evidence-base research service
  • identification and evaluation of existing topical evidence
  • integration of the evidence-base into a coherent and individualised report
  • a variety of written and face-to-face communication options
  • follow up with regular research and data updates.
     

What can the service do for me?

The AHURI Research Synthesis Service ensures that your decisions are based on the best evidence available, and provides you with access to the data you need.   
The AHURI Research Synthesis Service can:

  1. Assist with shaping the synthesis brief to ensure a product that will meet your needs.
  2. Identify and evaluate the evidence relevant to your decision-making (assessment of availability, currency, credibility, gaps, limitations).
  3. Deliver a highly targeted synthesis of the evidence within agreed timeframes.  Written synthesis can be presented, for example, in tabular or narrative formats with varying length and detail.
  4. Communicate the research findings and engage you in understanding and ownership of the evidence, using workshop or presentation and discussion formats.
  5. Generate decision-making implications from the evidence using interactive processes with you and your team, or as part of the synthesis report.
  6. Update the synthesis with new research and data as it becomes available, or on a regular basis.

How long will it take?

Research synthesis contracts are designed to meet your needs in scope, timeframe and knowledge transfer.
Projects can range from one to six weeks.
