The following procedure outlines the steps to be taken to gain access to the WAGER study support resources in support of a new or ongoing study.
Download and read the WAGER Support Services Access Policy before commencing your application (the Policy outlines important information about accessing any WAGER resources).
Send the completed Form to the WAGER Manager by post or email (high quality scans). You are strongly advised to contact the Manager to discuss your study first.
WAGER will inform the WAGER Governance Committee of the intended study, and may assign an Executive member or other person to act as a liaison person for the study.
Submit a formal application to WAGER, which will include any grant proposal.
WAGER may seek one or more independent reviews to assess the scientific validity and appropriateness of the study. This is most relevant to studies that are not funded following scientific review through a grant application, or are not submitted for scientific review.
For new studies ethics application to an appropriate institutional Human Research Ethics Committee will be made in collaboration with WAGER, including agreed protocols, approach letters, plain language statements, etc. This may also involve approval from The University of Western Australia Human Research Ethics Committee.
If all of the above are completed satisfactorily, a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be forwarded to the applicant for signing.
When the signed MOU has been received by the WAGER Manager the WAGER study support services will be configured to support the study.
