Surveys and Invitations
PoCoG is regularly contacted by researchers and clinicians seeking to promote and advertise their research surveys among our membership. PoCoG channels offer an effective and targeted medium for reaching psycho-oncology researchers, however, we receive a large number of requests and need to be mindful of ensuring the promotion of these requests meets PoCoG’s strategic objectives and is not burdensome for PoCoG members.
Therefore, research promotion via PoCoG channels must comply with a range of criteria before it will be considered for dissemination and an application form emailed to the PoCoG Office.
To be eligible to promote research via PoCoG channels, at least one investigator on the team must have been a PoCoG member for at least 12 months.
PoCoG does not generally promote student studies but will consider them.
For studies being conducted as part of a PhD at least two Investigators must be PoCoG members to be considered for promotion.
Researchers must provide clear copy for inclusion in the promotional material, which includes a headline, a short summary of participant requirements, a survey link that works and an image where appropriate.
Researchers must include a contact name and information about ethics approval for inclusion in the promotional material.
Researchers seeking reminder/follow up messages must make this clear in their initial request.
Researchers must complete the PoCoG Survey and Research Invitation Application Form and include all supporting documents and email this to pocog.office@sydney.edu.au. The application form should address all the criteria outlined.
Upon completion of the research project, successful applicants must provide PoCoG with a short written summary of the study’s outcomes, including total response rate and number of PoCoG members recruited, for communication to PoCoG members.
The Survey and Research Invitation policy can be found here.
