The research team has now been recruited. We are not accepting further expressions of interest for this project. Any future opportunities will be listed on this page.

Our approach

Research Integrity and Authorship

Projects must have a clear question, appropriate oversight and applicable governance checks before work proceeds. An expression-of-interest round is not confirmation that a study has received approval.

Research participation does not guarantee authorship. Authorship will be determined by substantive contributions in accordance with the project’s agreed authorship policy and relevant journal requirements.

Selection, publication and authorship are not guaranteed. Contribution expectations will be discussed before formal project commencement.
