Research Participation Opportunities

Are you interested in the research undertaken by Western Sydney University? Would you be interested in helping our researchers by becoming a research participant? If you are, please take a look at the list of current research projects below.

The study-specific information provided for each project includes details of the research being undertaken, the level of participation required (which may vary from simple questionnaires through to more involved clinical procedures), and the criteria for participation (volunteers must qualify for a study).

By participating in a clinical trial you will play a critical role in helping us advance the treatment and understanding of many diseases and conditions, and improve the care provided to others. By donating your time to any project you will help us advance the knowledge in that area.

All inquiries are treated in the strictest confidence. All projects have been granted ethics approval by the University's Human Research Ethics Committee.
