Research information for sponsors
Find out how you can sponsor a research project or clinical trial.
Sponsoring a research project or clinical trial helps develop new and improved treatments and therapies. Our hospital and health services offer skilled staff and modern facilities to meet your research needs.
As a sponsor, you join our partnership with universities, clinical professionals and other organisations.
You can find out about current and historical clinical trials and projects using DoRA 2.0 Queensland Health's Database of Research Activities.
Clinical trial sponsors
Australia has an efficient regulatory approval framework in the Clinical Trials Notification (CTN) scheme. Find out about the scheme on the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) website. This process stops the need for the Investigational New Drug requirements.
To sponsor a clinical trial, find a clinical trial site, or to locate another clinical trial service provider either:
- email our Clinical Trials Liaison Officers at ori@health.qld.gov.au
- access the Queensland Clinical Trials Portal.
The portal also explains all of the following:
- Queensland clinical trial regulation
- intellectual property
- patents.
Read about research governance on the Australian Clinical Trials website.
