Research Surveys
Survey and Interview Recruitment Applications
CNSA supports nurse-led research that is relevant to cancer nursing and benefits CNSA members, either directly or indirectly. Researchers may apply for:
- a CNSA letter of support before submitting an application to a Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC); or
- distribution of an HREC-approved survey or interview invitation to CNSA members.
Eligibility
To be eligible:
- the research must be nurse-led and directly relevant to cancer nursing; and
- the applicant, or at least one member of the research team, must be a current financial CNSA member.
The CNSA Research Standing Committee reviews all applications to consider their relevance to cancer nursing, scientific and ethical considerations, suitability for distribution and the potential burden on CNSA members.
Before applying
Applicants should review the following documents before submitting an application:
Applications must include all supporting documentation outlined in the policy. The Research Standing Committee aims to review complete applications within four to five weeks, subject to its meeting schedule.
If you are seeking a CNSA letter of support for an HREC application, you must consult CNSA before submitting your ethics application. CNSA or CNSA membership must be identified in the draft protocol and HREC application as an intended recruitment or distribution channel.
CNSA will only distribute a research invitation after HREC approval has been obtained. Approval of an application does not guarantee particular distribution dates, as scheduling remains subject to CNSA’s communications calendar and consideration of member burden. CNSA does not provide researchers with members’ contact details.
