NSW Regional Health Partners will announce the 40 recipients of the "Knowledge Translation Scholarship" at the program's launch on Wednesday.
The successful applicants - clinicians working within Hunter New England, the Central Coast and Mid North Coast - will have the opportunity to complete a 12-week course via the University of Newcastle.
Through the scholarship, they will learn how to identify, review, and select research to implement into their workplaces and local communities.
A NSW Regional Health Partners spokesperson said they wanted to "build the capacity" of professionals to identify practice gaps, and collect and consider strong evidence to put tailored solutions - based on the research - into practice. By investing funding from the Office for Health and Medical Research into the scholarship program, NSW Regional Health Partners hoped to make better use of available research to benefit patients in regional communities.
