Propose a Translational Study

Researchers are invited to submit study proposals to undertake translational research that utilises PURPLE Registry data and matched annotated biospecimens.

PURPLE Translational Study proposals involve a two-step process

All study proposals are reviewed by the PURPLE Translational Platform Steering Committee to assess scientific merit and feasibility and to ensure the proposal is aligned with the study objectives. 

Once Steering Committee approval has been granted, the PURPLE Project team will submit successful requests through the BioGrid Australia Data Access Request System to access the specified data.
