Expression of Interest and Research Location Selection

Once a site has submitted interest in a study, the sponsor or Clinical Research Organisation (CRO) will systematically go through their research location selection process to identify potential research locations. They will look at the Expression of Interest (EOI) submitted and the other location information available.

NOTE: from 1st October 2024 a new national process for Research Location Identification was launched.

A good way to showcase your research location in addition to submitting an EOI is by creating a website or short video displaying what your location has to offer. This can be added to your location profile in the national EOI system.
