NSW Health COVID-19 Emergency Response Priority Research program: a case study of rapid translation of research into health decision making

Objectives: The NSW Health COVID-19 Research Program was established in April 2020 to contribute to minimising the health, social and economic impacts of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in New South Wales (NSW). This paper describes the establishment and implementation of one elemen...

This paper describes the establishment and implementation of one element of the Program, the Emergency Response Priority Research (Emergency Response) workstream, which is focused on the rapid creation of evidence to support urgent operational work for the public health management of COVID-19 in NSW. Methods: Narrative description. Results: As at June 2021, nine Emergency Response projects had been funded. Mechanisms used to expedite projects included: embedding academic researchers in NSW Health to work directly with routinely collected NSW Health data; adapting existing research projects to include a COVID-19 component; leveraging established research partnerships to conduct rapid pilots; and directly commissioning urgent projects with experienced and trusted local researchers. Lessons learnt: Evidence from Emergency Response projects has contributed directly to informing the NSW public health response. For example, findings from a study of COVID-19 transmission in schools and childcare settings in the early stages of the pandemic informed decisions around the resumption of on-campus education in 2020 and helped shape policy around higher risk activities to help reduce transmission in education settings. Similarly, findings from a project to validate methods for identifying SARS-CoV-2 virus fragments in wastewater were subsequently incorporated into the NSW Sewage Surveillance Program, which continues to provide NSW Health with information to support targeted messaging and testing. The approach to establishing and implementing the Emergency Response workstream highlights the importance of continuing to ensure a well-trained public health research community and actively supporting a collaborative research sector.Danielle CampbellBarry EdwardsAndrew Milat Sarah ThackwayElizabeth WhittakerLaura GoudswaardMichelle CretikosAntonio Penna Kerry Chant Sax Institutearticlecovid-19nswaction researchPublic aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENPublic Health Research & Practice, Vol 31, Iss 4 (2021)
