Can you help us better understand how to support academics and students to engage in doing and publishing eating disorders research?
Researchers at La Trobe University, Monash University, Deakin University and the AEDRTC are seeking volunteer research participants to enrol in any component/s of the Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre (AEDRTC), Research Supervisor and Student Publication Support Program (RSSPSP), and complete short surveys as part of their involvement - an initial survey and one before commencing the program and one when ending the program (for each component undertaken). Findings will feed into development and ongoing quality improvement of the Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre (AEDRTC), Research Supervisor and Student Publication Support Program (RSSPSP) over time.
You May Qualify if You:
- You are a Supervisor or Student completing eating disorder related research
- Enrol in any component of the Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre (AEDRTC), Research Supervisor and Student Publication Support Program (RSSPSP) (either the Supervisor Networking & Support or the Supervisor Networking & Support Groups and / or Student Publishing Support Group).
Participation involves:
If you decide to take part in the research, you would be asked to:
- Complete an initial 15 minute online demographic, work role and expression of interest survey
- Participate in the Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre (AEDRTC), Research Supervisor and Student Publication Support Program (RSSPSP)- selecting the components you wish. Please see details of the RSSPSP below.
Components of the PSSRPP include:
- The Networking & Support Groups (one for supervisors and one for students), each of which will involve 8 x one hour networking (online) meetings held across semester 1 and 2 of 2025, and
- The Publication Support Group (for students), which will involve 9 x two hour publication support meetings held in 10 week blocks across the academic year.
- 40 minutes maximum in total to complete the pre-post program surveys, per component (max 2 components)
Your decision to participate in research is voluntary.
