CCRE Spine Clinical Research Fellowship Program
A key aim of the CCRE is to train a new generation of transdisciplinary clinical spine scientists. Currently there are significant barriers to training clinical researchers including access to funding, training and research support.
The CCRE will fill this gap through:
- unique opportunities for clinical research training/support for promising clinical researchers (via a Clinical Research Fellowship Program);
- access to a mentor network of Australia’s leading spine scientists (via the National Network of Spine Scientists); and
- building capacity to support the highest standard of clinical research with community interaction (via the Community-Based Clinical Research Centre and community participation).
