TEPHINET has created a free resource for those keen on learning "R".
Created by epidemiologists for epidemiologists, this open-source manual serves as a great introduction to R programming for field epidemiologists responding to public health emergencies. The handbook includes sample R code and tutorials addressing a wide range of data management and visualisation tasks with epidemiological examples, and is available in an offline version for use in settings with low internet connectivity.
The Research Education Program (REP) is pleased to introduce a series of "Research Skills Workshops" this year to help guide an interactive group through the finer details of such things as preparing and submitting grant proposals, tips and hints for presenting your research and the intricacies around ethics and governance processes for clinical research in WA.

Workshop Synopsis
If you are undertaking a research project or are thinking about becoming involved in research, understanding the review and approval requirements for your research project may appear intimidating.
This workshop is to help you understand the process of ethical and governance review for research approvals at CAHS, which includes Perth Children’s Hospital, Community Health, Mental Health and Neonatology.
The Ethics and Governance team will provide an overview of the review processes at CAHS and explain the most common issues that cause delays or queries in relation to research submissions.We welcome your feedback and interaction throughout the workshop as we discuss issues that are relevant to you and your project.
The session allows you to meet the ethics and governance team at CAHS and ask questions in an open and supportive environment to help you understand and navigate the process.
We invite experienced and inexperienced researchers and their support teams to attend if you would like to know more about the review and approval process at CAHS or refresh your knowledge.
If you have specific questions now that you would like to make sure are covered during the workshop please send them through to Helen.Hughes@health.wa.gov.au
