About the scholarship
This project forms part of an NHMRC-funded Centre of Research Excellence in Paediatric Palliative Care. The PhD program involves the design and conduct of a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) to explore how consumers prioritise different elements of paediatric palliative care models. It comprises a number of sub-projects including a systematic literature review, a synthesis of existing qualitative data, and the design and analysis of a quantitative preference survey. There is scope for the candidate to incorporate an additional related project that aligns with their own interests.
