The College of Health is comprised of four schools: School of Midwifery, School of Nursing, School of Occupational Therapy, and the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health. Additionally, we collaborate with the College of Community Development and Personal Wellbeing. The committee members are staff members from the respective colleges who are engaged in research and are committed to enhancing collaboration among our College of Health staff and community.

The aim of this research festival is to encourage research activity, regardless of progress. Research presented at the 2022 Health and Wellbeing Research Festival follows three possible formats:

1. Research idea sessions - this is a 15-minute brainstorm session on a research idea. The goals of this may vary, but include gaining collaborators, refining methodology, addressing key issues.

2. Progressing research - this is a 5-minute presentation on a current research project that may not yet be complete but has progress to share. There will be a 10-minute discussion session to clarify the next steps of the research.

3. Results focused presentations - this is a 10-minute presentation on a research project that has data/findings to present. There will be a 5-minute Q&A session to follow the presentation.
