Welcome
The current TIA Strategic Plan (2012–16) introduced a new program structure to the organisation. TIA’s Programs generate outcomes that are aligned with our strategic direction. The programs provide the logical delivery platform for the projects TIA engages in.
Priorities within each program have been determined in collaboration with our key stakeholders and will be reviewed annually by the Director and the TIA Board. The programs also provide a decision-making framework for strategically seeking new projects in areas of high priority.
Our projects have a mix of research, development, extension and education (RDE&E) outcomes that will be delivered via this program structure. Each project contributes to addressing the outcomes in one or more of the six TIA programs.
