Health Research: The Fundamentals
Event description
How does a research project start, and how do you decide the research question? Why do research projects have to go through ethics and governance reviews, and how are those two processes distinct? And finally, why are clinical trials a bit different from other types of research?
These are just some of the questions Sydney Health Partners will answer on March 27.
The webinar is aimed at those who are new to health research and wondering where to begin, or who need a refresher on the basics before starting a research project.
