• • You are not there as a mini scientist. Nor are you there as a Cancer Voices representative, presenting our organisational view – although you and the researchers are welcome to check our Position Statements at www.cancervoices.org.au
  • Cancer Voices’ nominees have usually completed the Consumer Research Training Program provided annually by Cancer Council NSW (CCNSW), with Cancer Voices support and input. The training now consists of four online modules and a half day face to face workshop. This gives participants a basic idea of the kinds of cancer research, the stages of research and funding “cycles”, what is expected of you by the researcher, and what you should expect yourself.
  • CCNSW also trains consumers wishing to sit on its Consumer Review Panel. The panel, which includes consumers, reviews applications for research funding to judge their value to the community. Of course, you may choose to serve in both roles. If you are interested in doing the training, email [email protected]
