The District Health Board Research Fund (DHBRF) is a partnership between the Health Research Council of New Zealand (HRC) and the 21 District Health Boards. The objective of this initiative is to commission research that addresses key knowledge gaps for DHBs and supports and promotes the translation of research into clinical practice. Six Request for Proposals (RFPs) have been released. See the 'Current Projects' tab for information on the nature and status of the projects.
