Volunteers |
Research grant funding often falls short of the full costs of conducting a project, and volunteer support assists Menzies Research Institute researchers to carry out work that may not otherwise be achievable. The Menzies Research Institute is fortunate to be able to call on the skills, knowledge and goodwill of volunteers, who take on many different roles to help the Menzies Research Institute conduct its research.
Volunteers make significant contributions in a variety of areas, for example:
- Assisting with data collection
- Information kit preparation
- Coordinating special projects
- Library maintenance
- Reception duties
- Database maintenance and data entry
- Mail-out preparation and collation
- Fundraising
- Tracing people through electoral roll/phone book
- General clerical duties
- Transporting research participants
- Interpreting pathology and MRI reports
Menzies Research Institute volunteers have opportunities to learn new skills, develop their confidence, assume responsibility, maintain social contacts, and contribute to research that addresses the health needs of Tasmanians. Institute staff highly value the contributions of our volunteers, as evidenced by the steady stream of requests for volunteer assistance.
