The percentage female...
While in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia, higher education research institutions are widely engaged with Athena SWAN Charter for Women Science to advance gender equality, empirical on this process its impact is rare. This study combined two data sets (free- text comments from a survey qualitative interviews) explore range of experiences perceptions participation medical science departments research-intensive university Oxford, Kingdom.The based secondary analysis projects: 59...
Global investment in biomedical research has grown significantly over the last decades, reaching approximately a quarter of trillion US dollars 2010. However, not all this is distributed evenly by gender. It follows, arguably, that scarce resources may be optimally invested (by either supporting best science or failing to investigate topics benefit women and men equitably). Women across world tend underrepresented both as researchers participants, receive less funding, appear frequently than...

Abstract Background Funders of medical research the world over are increasingly seeking, in assessment, to complement traditional output measures scientific publications with more outcome-based indicators societal and economic impact. In United Kingdom, Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) developed proposals Research Excellence Framework (REF) allocate public funding higher education institutions, inter alia , on basis social impact their research. 2010, it conducted a pilot...

Biomedical Research Centres (BRCs) are partnerships between healthcare organisations and universities in England. Their mission is to generate novel treatments, technologies, diagnostics other interventions that increase the country's international competitiveness, rapidly translate these innovations into benefits for patients, improve efficiency reduce waste healthcare. As NIHR Oxford BRC (Oxford BRC) enters its third 5-year funding period, we seek (1) apply evidence base on how best...

Abstract Background As in many countries around the world, there are high expectations on academic health science centres and networks England to provide high-quality care, innovative research, world-class education, while also supporting wealth creation economic growth. Meeting these increasingly depends partnership working between university medical schools teaching hospitals, as well other healthcare providers. However, academic-clinical relationships still characterised by “unlinked...
Increasingly, health policy-makers and managers all over the world look for alternative forms of organisation governance in order to add more value quality their systems. In recent years, central government England mandated several cross-sector initiatives based on collaborative arrangements. However, there is little empirical evidence that examines local implementation responses such centrally-mandated collaborations.Data from national study Health Innovation Education Clusters (HIECs) are...
Around the world, last two decades have been characterised by an increase in numbers of mergers between healthcare providers, including some most prestigious university hospitals and academic health centres. However, many fail to bring anticipated benefits, successful post-merger integration centres is even harder achieve. An increasing body literature suggests that organisational culture affects success academic-clinical collaboration.This paper reports findings from a mixed-methods...
Introduction Translational research organisations (TROs) are a core component of the UK's expanding base. Equity career opportunity is key to ensuring diverse and internationally competitive workforce. The UK now requires TROs demonstrate how they supporting gender equity. Yet, evidence base for documenting such efforts sparse.
