What barriers will we need to overcome in achieving these outcomes and addressing these priorities? Who should we work with so as to ensure that our research findings lead to better prevention, diagnosis and care for Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islanders living with dementia, their families and carers? How do we build collaboration across research teams? The Round Table Meeting discussed the greater need for collaboration between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research teams in order to maximise efficiency in time and money in research, as well as combining research and sharing data to reduce the number of similar projects. After discussions, the following ways to build this collaboration were discussed: Building of a formalised Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander committee to advise the NNIDR Building a network or database containing all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander dementia projects and research organisations Creating structured processes for facilitating collaboration amongst research projects Creating partnership funding schemes for collaborations In your experience, what is needed to build collaboration across research teams? What can we do to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples choosing dementia research and translation as a career? Ideas fostered at the Round Table Meeting were centred around mentoring and funding schemes, greater access to education and training for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and encouragement for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health workers, mental health workers and personal care assistants to join research teams or projects. Do you have any suggestions on how to attract Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to dementia research and translation? In your community or experience, can you describe what funding schemes would need to be implemented to support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples pursuing a career in dementia research and translation?
