How does an RDG operate
NIPHRN uses a Research Development Group (RDG) model to bring people together from a range of backgrounds in public health to focus on developing a specific research protocol to attract external funding.
Any member can suggest a research idea which can then be circulated to other network members.
The RDG Model
- NIPHRN member has a research idea
- Member completes short enquiry form detailing data
- Idea is circulated to network members
- Interested members express an interest in the research idea
- Multi-disciplinary RDG is formed
- RDG meets regularly to develop proposal
- Evidence from research project feeds back to the public health community
