The purpose of the Professional Practice Research Network (PPRN) is to promote research in professional practice.

Many of the recent advances in anaesthesia, pain medicine and perioperative patient care have involved pioneering ANZCA-funded research conducted by our fellows. Take a look at what we've achieved; what we fund; and how to apply.

The foundation dedicates around $1.5 million to medical research each year; supports our Indigenous health and overseas aid activities; and raises the profile of college-supported research.

We are the leading clinical trials network in anaesthesia, pain and perioperative medicine. We have a clear focus to translate our research findings into practice to improve patient safety and care in our communities and globally.

All of our surveys have undergone stringent peer review to ensure they're rigorously designed and written; respect participants' confidentiality; and avoid over-burdening our fellows and trainees.
