CHRISP (Centre for Health Research Illawarra Shoalhaven Population), established in 2016, is a research partnership between the Illawarra Shoalhaven Local Health District (ISLHD) and AHSRI (University of Wollongong). The aim of the partnership is to help build research capacity in the region and to provide access to high quality health data which will be used to improve the health and wellbeing of the local community. In order to meet this aim, the partnership has supported the establishment of a multidisciplinary research team with backgrounds in medicine, public health and data linkage, as well as the establishment of the Illawarra health Information Platform (IHIP) a powerful stand-alone data linkage IT system.
