TTRA Webinar: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Research - Ethics and Reciprocity

The Targeted Translation Research Accelerator (TTRA) program, a Medical Research Future Fund initiative delivered by MTPConnect, launched Round 3 of its Research Projects funding opportunity on 30 January 2023 to support diabetes and cardiovascular disease projects that address the unmet health and medical needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in rural, remote, regional, and urban centres.
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander research ethics is an important part of research projects that involve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. During the webinar, attendees will hear from two speakers with extensive experience in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research ethics from both an ethics committee and a researcher perspective. They will explore researchers’ ethical obligations, when you need to submit to an Aboriginal Human Research Ethics Committee, the importance of cultural safety in research design and reciprocity.
This webinar is part of a series hosted by MTPConnect to highlight key elements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research. This series is intended for anyone with a broad interest in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research but may also provide potential TTRA Round 3 Research Projects applicants with important considerations for building their projects and teams.
Speakers:
• Dr Summer May Finlay - Co-Chair of the Aboriginal Health and Medical Research Council of NSW Ethics Committee
• Professor Jenni Judd - Professorial Research Fellow, Central Queensland University
