Professor Margaret Barry Research World Health Organization Collaboration Centre for Health Promotion Research National University of Ireland Galway Ollscoil na hÉireann, Gaillimh Advice from a Successful Coordinator: Lessons learned from the CompHP Project Information Day on Public Health Programme Health Research Board 4th June, 2014
2
Overview Developing a strong and realistic proposal ‘the basis of a good project is good proposal’ Managing the process of project development from submission through to delivery –the consortium, communication, budget, work allocation, timelines Clear plan for project outputs –dissemination and translation Plan for sustainability
3
Project Leader (2009- 2012) 24 Project Partners from across Europe - academics, practitioners, professional associations and policymakers
4
Scientific and technical quality of the proposal o Clear rationale o Relevance - addressing a research or policy problem or gap in the literature/evidence o Innovative contribution – advancing the research area Realistic – doable in the timeframe European added-value – generate synergy Lessons Learned “The basis of a good project is a good proposal”
5
Planning phase - allow time for detailed planning and proposal development Methodology and Work Packages o Clear statement of project objectives o Methods to be used o Clear description of the individual work packages o Coherence and sequencing of the work o Delivery of project outputs Lessons Learned
6
Choose your partners carefully –expertise of the consortium, geographical spread –speak to the European context –good working relationship –capacity to deliver Pay attention to budget details –advice from your institution and consult the Project Officer regarding what is and is not allowed –difficult to make changes afterwards Check on all details before proposal submission Lessons Learned
7
The Project Leader/Coordinator has overall responsibility for the writing of the proposal and if succesful for the process of project development and delivery legal contract Budget for a Project Manager Strong research team – synergy in the consortium Lessons Learned

Aim of the CompHP Project To develop a shared vision for health promotion workforce capacity building in Europe through establishing the core competencies, professional standards and accreditation mechanisms for quality assurance in the education, training and practice of health promotion
10
Rationale Strengthening Health Promotion workforce capacity for the implementation of population health improvement - competencies and standards for effective practice to deliver on global, European and national health policies - necessary knowledge, skills and abilities in translating policy, theory and research into effective action Multi-skilled and flexible workforce - complex health challenges - addressing health inequities and the social determinants of health - Health in All Policies approach - citizen participation and empowerment Distinctive contribution of Health Promotion to multidisciplinary Public Health
11
European Context for the CompHP Project Health Promotion is an evolving field of practice in Europe o diverse health promotion workforce - fragmented and lacking a clear occupational identity o varying levels of professional training and career development within and across countries Need for a coherent European approach o Freedom of employment across the EU region o Bologna Declaration and quality assurance in higher education in Europe (EAQAHE) o Quality assurance in practice and training in health fields o Public accountability o Workforce capacity required for delivering on EU health strategies Need for a comprehensive but flexible pan-European framework
12
Research base for CompHP Project International literature on Health Promotion competencies, standards and accreditation Australia, Canada, New Zealand, US and a number of European countries Galway Consensus Conference Statement (Allegrante et al., 2009; Barry et al., 2009) - international collaboration to identify domains of core competency in health promotion - IUHPE, SOPHE, CDC IUHPE European Regional Sub-Committee research including: Scoping study on Training, Accreditation and Professional Standards in Health Promotion (Santa-María Morales & Barry, 2007) Pilot feasibility study on implementing a pan-European accreditation system (Battel-Kirk & Barry, 2009) Both reports accessible on www.iuhpe.org
13
CompHP Project Objectives To identify, agree and publish core competencies for Health Promotion practice, education and training in Europe To develop and publish competency-based professional standards for Health Promotion practice To promote quality assurance through the development of a Europe-wide accreditation system To map competencies and standards in academic courses across Europe and link to accreditation for academic settings To pilot competencies, standards and accreditation with practitioners in a range of settings across Europe To engage in consultation with key stakeholders and disseminate information on the project outcomes throughout the 27 member states and candidate countries
14
CompHP Process Systematic and consensus-building approach - extensive and wide ranging consultation process - grounded in the core concepts and principles of Health Promotion Mobilization of interest, dialogue and consensus concerning Health Promotion workforce development Over 700 stakeholders from across the policy, practice and academic Health Promotion community in Europe were engaged in CompHP – 300 actively - Delphi technique with national experts across the EU region -online consultations with a broad base of practitioners -focus groups and workshops at country and pan-European level International Expert Advisory Group
