Creating Our Future 2008-2012

Our Strategic Objectives:

1. To develop a comprehensive and multidisciplinary research program to improve men's health.
2. To establish a men's health service that models best practice in the provision of integrated health services for men.
3. To establish an early career researcher development program that attracts high quality researchers from interstate and overseas.
4. To develop an evidence based continuing education program for health professionals with an interest in men's health.
5. To establish a broad base of funding support to reduce the strategic vulnerability of limited funding sources.

By 2012, the Centre will be a world leader for these reasons:

• The Centre will be a model of integration, and multidisciplinary collaboration, across clinical services, research programs and continuing education.
  
  
• The research programs of the Centre will be driven by its prospective cohort study (ie Florey Adelaide Male Ageing Study) and collaborations with clinical services.
  
  
• The Centre will attract and generate world leaders in men’s health and have strong partnerships both nationally and internationally.
  
  
• The Centre will have a strong international reputation as a result of
  systematic dissemination of research discoveries.
  
  
• The Centre will have a diversified funding base including private funds,
  along with contract research funds, research grants and other government funds.
