In a climate of ongoing change and economic uncertainty, this plan presents a clear direction for health research in Ireland. It highlights the need for a collaborative approach and defines the key steps that need to be taken to:

  • Improve people's health
  • Change the way we deliver patient care
  • Ensure new outcomes are applied in policy and practice
  • Create opportunities for enterprise and the life sciences industry

This health research plan demonstrates how we can bridge the gap between resarch and health outcomes. The clear, measureable actions will have a strong impact on delivering improvements in the nation's health.
