Research workshops and development resources

The series of five introductory CRDO CORE workshops are interactive and provide a practical introduction to clinical research. They are principle-based and run for approximately 3.5 hours. Please note, the Good Clinical Practice (GCP) workshop runs for 4 hours. The course has been designed to be facilitated over five weeks, with one 3.5-hour session per week.

Guidelines & Legislation in Research

Conducting research in accordance with all the rules and regulations that govern research in Australia can be daunting. This workshop reviews the national guidelines and legislation that apply, including the NHMRC National Statement, the NHMRC Code for the Responsible Conduct of Research, and the Privacy and Health Records Act.

The Ethics Review Process — What You Need to Know

From a new project application through to submission of the final report, discover what the HRECs and Research Governance Offices require from you. This session also demystifies the National Ethics Application Form (NEAF) and the Victorian Specific Module (VSM).

Informed Consent Essentials

Obtaining valid consent is a vital, active and ongoing process in research. This workshop focuses on how to write high-quality Participant Information and Consent Forms (PICFs) and on the role of communication in the consent process.

Good Clinical Practice (GCP) = Good Research Practice

Australian researchers are increasingly required to comply with international Good Clinical Practice (GCP) guidelines in the form adopted by Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). This TransCelerate-recognised, 4-hour GCP workshop provides certification that is mandatory for all staff working on industry-sponsored trials.
