The ASPIRE Steering Committee was formed in December 2022; the role of the committee is to:
🔵 Ensure the registry is aligned with the organisational and national strategy.
🔵 Commitment to review and improve, as required clinically relevant datasets captured in the registry.
🔵 Assist with resolving registry strategic level issues and risks.
🔵 Assess registry progress and report on registry outcomes to relevant key stakeholders and management within the ABCPTR, TROG Cancer Research (TROG), Local Health Networks and Department of Health.
🔵 Review and approve requests for data (RFD) research projects submitted through ASPIRE and the TROG secondary data analysis pathway.
The ASPIRE Steering Committee has representatives from a wide range of disciplines and national jurisdictions, a consumer advocate representative, a member from the Hospital Research Foundation Group and a TROG Cancer Research nominee.
This approach ensures diversity within the committee from a range of different disciplines, organisations and representation from each site participating in registry.
Individual steering committee members have the following responsibilities:
🔵 Monitor the scientific progress of the registry including the data quality.
🔵 Understand the goals, objectives, and desired outcomes of the registry.
🔵 Understand and represent the interests of registry stakeholders.
🔵 Advise on the collection and interpretation of data.
🔵 Assess and advise regarding performance outliers.
🔵 Advise on scientific priorities to be addressed in data analysis and publication strategy.
🔵 Act on opportunities to communicate positively about the registry.
🔵 Actively participate in meetings through attendance, discussion, and review of minutes, papers and other Steering Committee documents.
🔵 Engage in collaboration with registry staff in providing intellectual input into analysis of data and development of registry publications where appropriate and advise on their scientific quality.
🔵 Support open discussion and debate and encourage fellow Steering Committee members to voice their insights.
We thank all of our ASPIRE committee members for their support, dedication and hard work!
