Research Support Unit

The Cancer Agency’s Research Support Unit (RSU) is an operational unit within the Department of Research Development & Strategy. The purpose of the RSU is to centralize/streamline the research intake and approval process, and to develop and oversee policies and procedures that support the responsible conduct of research within the Cancer Agency. 

We’re working hard to develop all relevant policies, procedures, and guidance materials – those currently in place can be viewed/downloaded from the list below. If you have any questions relating to research at the Cancer Agency, please contact us.
