iPREP is a novel program linking PhD students from all 5 WA universities to work in interdisciplinary teams on business projects.
Since 2015 the Western Australian Health Translation Network (WAHTN) has engaged with iPREP to assist with the implementation of the Research Education Training Program (RETP).
The RETP supports researchers and health practitioners by providing high quality, up-to-date online training research modules and other educational resources to improve the quality and outcomes of health and medical research in WA.
Rashmi Watson, Head of the RETP has mentored four iPREP projects and subsequently employed four PhD graduates from Curtin, Murdoch, and ECU through the iPREP program.
Professor John Challis, Executive Director of WAHTN has received the Lifetime Distinguished Service Award of the Society for Reproductive Investigation given to an individual who has “made significant contributions to the fields of reproductive biology and women’s health research”. Presentation of the Award will take place at the Society’s Annual meeting in San Diego CA, March 2018.
