Governance

Alfred Research Alliance Council 

Comprised of senior delegates from each of the Alfred Research Alliance members, the Alliance council reports to the boards of the member institutions. 

Alliance Council delegates meet every three months to oversee the strategic planning, development, and operation of the Alliance.

The Alliance Council uses several Key Performance Indicators (external research funding, referred publications and higher degree completions) to monitor annual research outputs.

Alliance Council committees

The Alliance Council receives and acts upon advice from three committees: 

Alfred Research Alliance Scientific Advisory Committee

Alfred Health Human Ethics Committee 

Alfred Research Alliance Animal Ethics Governance and Policy Committee

Strategic review, strategic priorities & governing agreement

In 2012, the Alliance Council conducted a strategic review of the Alliance along with key clinicians, educators and researchers. The outcomes of this review were to clarify priorities, confirm our approach to a common infrastructure, and combine or share facilities where possible.

More recently, the Strategic Priorities for 2017-2020 were developed and a new Governing Agreement was signed on 27 September 2018.
