Abstract

[Extract] An important role for academics in the caring sciences, and certainly a crucial indicator of their performance, is related to research outputs such as quantitative and qualitative studies and publication of findings in peer-reviewed journals. We recently joined a number of senior academic colleagues for an annual grant writing retreat with the aim of refining applications for external funding for the progression of research proposals. These types of collaborative gatherings represent only a small part of an enormous effort and expenditure of resources in the pursuit of research success in an increasingly competitive environment. However at a more fundamental level, the retreat also revealed a shared passion and commitment to improve practice through research evidence.
