Emerging Researchers’ Group (ERGO)
The Emerging Researchers' Group (ERGO) is the HSRAANZ's network of undergraduate, masters, doctoral students, early career researchers and other experts working in the field of Health Services Research in Australia and New Zealand. A priority of ERGO is to engage others working or studying in this field to better define and understand the identity of the Health Services Researcher - to explore who are we, what we do, where we work, and overall how we fit with other types of health research.
ERGO hosts a number of activities and events. The biggest ERGO events coincide with the Association's biennial conference. ERGO events at the conference generally include a speed mentoring session with senior leaders within the Association, an ERGO social event, and a 3 minute presentation competition for early career researchers. Other ongoing initiatives to support early career researchers include our PhD and ECR best paper awards and a professional mentoring program.
The HSRAANZ appoints two facilitators (who must be HSRAANZ members) who are co-opted on to the Association's Executive Committee, to represent emerging researchers' interests. The facilitators are responsible for overseeing the operation of the Group and reporting on its activities to the Executive Committee.
