Resource and Training Opportunities to Develop Research Practice
Below are many of the resources and training opportunities Griffith University makes available to staff and HDR students in their endeavours to produce quality research. We have particularly focused on those research resources WOW staff and student members have unique access to due to their membership with the Centre (e.g. WOW resources, GBS Faculty resources and Griffith Social and Behavioural Research College resources).
Assistance in grant preparation and informal peer reviewing of draft papers is available through the WOW membership and GBS, along with more specific methodological advice available through the GSBRC. Additionally, administrative support is available to assist with grant preparation. Please contact the WOW administrator for further advice.
We will be updating this website on a periodical basis. Please feel free to contact the Centre advising of any updates you discover when you are searching Griffith online.
