iPREP is a novel program linking PhD students from all 5 WA universities to work in interdisciplinary teams on business projects.
Since 2015 the Western Australian Health Translation Network (WAHTN) has engaged with iPREP to assist with the implementation of the Research Education Training Program (RETP).
The RETP supports researchers and health practitioners by providing high quality, up-to-date online training research modules and other educational resources to improve the quality and outcomes of health and medical research in WA.
Rashmi Watson, Head of the RETP has mentored four iPREP projects and subsequently employed four PhD graduates from Curtin, Murdoch, and ECU through the iPREP program.
