Measuring growth in research capacity and capability of allied health professionals at a regional Australian public health service: 2011–2023
Similar results in consuming and producing research activity by both instruments suggest the shorter RCF could replace the more onerous research spider. Qualitative data collected simultaneously with the Objective ratings can be used to plan the future direction of capacity building efforts. The high levels of experience in quality improvement skills but limited knowledge of research translation methods suggest this knowledge gap may be a barrier to the translation of allied health research.
