The Clinical Trials Committee identifies key priorities, strategies and optimum conditions to facilitate trials. The Committee works closely with the Methods and Implementation Support for Clinical and Health research (MISCH) Hub to support investigator-initiated trials, industry sponsored trials, and hybrid variations of both. MACH’s Clinical Trials team also conducts network skills and best-practice mapping, workshop events and other training to increase capacity among members.
The MACH Clinical Trial Committee provides oversight for MACH node of the Health Studies Australian National Data Asset (HeSANDA) program to build national infrastructure to support the sharing and reuse of health research data. Further information on the MACH Clinical Trials Consortium node and the objectives of the HeSANDA initiative can be found here.
