AccessCR-CCReW News and Opportunities 11Oct2022

News
Dear

Over this past weekend, I made some more updates to the CCReW website to outline the support AccessCR is currently offering for CCReW. This update enabled me to finally "launch" the CCReW Conference/Event Support Scholarship Program, with the announcement that the next round of scholarships is now open for applications. This round welcomes applications by 17 October, 6pm AEDT from consumers involved in research interested in attending the Australian Clinical Trials Alliance (ACTA) Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) in Adelaide, 7-8 November.

When I announced the Scholarship round in the Research Gamechangers FB group, one of the members, Joanne, reminded me that she had attended the 2018 ACTA ASM on a free consumer registration pass. So I thought it might be timely to chat with her about that experience, and what attending the conference led to. Read all about that in the CCReW Blog.
It is amazing to see how much Joanne has got involved in just because of that conference opportunity. It's why I am passionate about facilitating consumer access to conferences for capacity building and why I am very grateful to the sponsors that have helped make this Scholarship program possible. We already have the next conference in mind too, which we'll announce a little later in the year. I hope you'll share this newsletter around and encourage people to apply for the Scholarship if appropriate.

Outside of the Scholarships, there are a few interesting activities and events happening, listed in the opportunities section below. I'll also be heading to the ACTA conference and would love to meet up at 4pm on the 7Nov in Adelaide with any CCReW that might want to say hello. Stay tuned for a location next newsletter or in the FB group.

Until next time, may the world be kind to you.
                                                        Janelle.

This is a list of all studies on the ANZCTR approved by a human research ethics committee, recruiting in Australia, with a trial start date between 26Sep - 10Oct2022 not previously listed here, as at 10Oct2022.


We provide the above trial listings as a free service to help people know what studies have recently started that they or someone they know could have an interest in. Please contact researchers directly through the listings as we have no connection/involvement with these studies.

If you are a researcher that wants to let people know about your recruiting trial here, please contact us (first listing free, subsequent listings for a fee).



We love to hear your stories as trial participants, consumers involved in research or the carers and family that help support people do either. It helps us promote your good works, uncover areas for improvement, and inspire others as to what is possible.

This newsletter, we are showcasing Joanne's experiences attending the 2018 ACTA conference and the consumer work she has got involved in since as a result of that conference. This story and others can be found on our blog.

Feel free to email us, give us a call, or share your story in any other way you'd like to with us.
