Provision of WA Sexual Health and Blood-Borne Virus Applied Research and Evaluation Network (SiREN) Project Management and Support Services

The WA Sexual Health and Blood-borne Virus Applied Research and Evaluation Network (SiREN) is an applied research and evaluation network coordinated by Curtin University’s Collaboration for Evidence, Research and Impact in Public Health (CERIPH). SiREN aims to strengthen existing, and create new, partnerships by promoting and facilitating WA-based applied research and evaluation relating to the prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and blood-borne viruses (BBVs). There is an ongoing need for research and evaluation within the WA sexual health and blood borne virus (SHBBV) sector. The Western Australian Sexual Health and Blood-borne Virus Strategy 2024-2030 lists ‘Data collection, research and surveillance’ as one of the five key action areas to achieve the goals and targets for the SHBBV sector by 2030.
