This 18 month research project, supported by the University of Wollongong’s practice-based research network ISPRN, is designed to build research capacity within our region’s practices.

In fact, ISPRN will provide research mentoring and supervision by two senior GSM academics, administrative support and research assistance as part of the project.

The research should focus on chronic disease and involve at least two general practices from the region. The project should also be of sufficient enough scope to enable results to be published in a peer reviewed journal but also achievable by a novice researcher within an 18 month timeframe.

Applications are now open and close at 5pm on 18 November 2016.

Download an application form now!

For further information on the application process contact ISPRN Program Assistant Alyssa Horgan on (02) 4221 5819 or amunkman@uow.edu.au

Dear ISPRN Members

We are pleased to announce the launch of our new ISPRN website, which now sits under the School of Medicine within the Faculty of Science, Medicine & Health.

ISPRN Website

The new website details information on consultancy services the team can provide, up to date information on all ISPRN projects as well as information on ISPRN’s governance from our advisory, academic and strategic working groups.

We are also taking the opportunity over the Christmas period to update the resources on our blog to provide you with an up to date information on research tips, tricks and processes to assist you with your research endeavours.

We are also currently planning ISPRN workshops for 2017 and are interested to hear from you regarding the kind of research workshops that would be most beneficial to you.
