In her role as Executive Director, Research Services, Natalie brings a wealth of knowledge in research administration, garnered over 25 years of service in the medical research sector. Natalie has worked in varied roles supporting research management both in Melbourne and Sydney. As Executive Director, she leads the Research Services team here at the Ingham Institute for Applied Medical Research. She and her team continue to design, develop and streamline systems that will reduce the administrative burden associated with conducting research.
More recently in her role as Executive Director, Research Services, she has provided leadership in the development, delivery and implementation of the Institutes’ research strategy and developed strategies for a number of internal initiatives. These initiatives collectively challenge current behaviours to optimise research performance and infrastructure support across the Institute, including optimising the delivery of research services, coordination of existing and new systems and establishing and implementing the Institutes’ research performance.
Natalie has led teams and stakeholders to deliver large submissions to state and federal government. In particular, her role in the Institute’s strategic review involved extensive engagement with researchers, research support staff as well as external partners and stakeholders in order to best capture research impact.
Natalie is committed to building and supporting organisational excellence and innovation in medical research. She is inspired by the challenges faced by the medical research sector and is continually striving to make a difference in the area of research support. Natalie is driven to bridge the gap between research and ‘management’ in a way that supports the researchers to focus on what they do best – that being research, continually reducing the burden that comes with conducting research.
