Submissions

Phase I - Completed

The University of Sydney Health and Medical Research Strategic Review has reached the end of Phase I. During Phase I we have been collecting submissions, which have been about highlighting issues that exist in relation to the terms of reference. More than 140 individual submissions have been received, we’ve conducted many interviews with a range of stakeholders and started a series of consultation workshops. Through this process we have logged more than 400 issues, which have been grouped into ten themes. The issues we have logged have informed the development of the University of Sydney Health and Medical Research Strategic Review Issues paper. This paper has been delivered to the Vice Chancellor and concludes Phase I.
