Overview
These resources are designed to support anaesthesia investigators at every stage of their research journey. They cover developing a new research idea, preparing a grant application, setting up a pilot or feasibility study, planning a clinical trial, identifying funding opportunities, and navigating the path to publication. Each resource is tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities in anaesthesia, perioperative, and pain medicine research.
CTN emerging and engaged investigators mailing list
The CTN office is committed to nurturing the next generation of clinical researchers by providing comprehensive support to emerging and established investigators. This includes identifying funding opportunities, offering advice on consumer engagement, and facilitating tailored educational and networking sessions. To join the mailing list, contact Paige Druce.
Our new toolkit
All the documents within our brand-new toolkit can be accessed on the ANZCA Institutional Research Repository (AIRR). We thank everyone involved in creating these tailored resources for our network. This page features resources to support anaesthesia research investigators with their research journey.

Explore guidance from CTN members on building a sustainable research department and employing a research co-ordinator.

We provide resources, mentorship, educational, collaboration and funding opportunities to emerging investigators.

ANZCA CTN endorsement is a powerful badge of quality, enhancing competitiveness in grants, ethics, and appeal to our stakeholders

The pilot grant scheme provides seed funding for exploratory studies, helping assess feasibility, refine methods, and secure grants for large trials.

The mentorship program fosters high-quality clinical research, leadership development, and succession planning within the CTN.

Our Research Consultation Service helps develop and deliver research services to fellows, trainees, college staff and other key college stakeholders.

This hub has been designed to bring together the resourcing, services and support available through the college for research-related activities.

Many of the recent advances in anaesthesia, pain medicine and perioperative patient care have involved pioneering ANZCA-funded research conducted by our fellows.
