About

What is METIS?

The METIS Database is a searchable repository of guidance, procedures, and templates to help you conduct your research in accordance with Melbourne Children’s, State, National and international legislation and regulatory requirements. These resources have been predominantly developed and compiled by the Clinical Research Development Office (CRDO) and Melbourne Clinical Trials Centre (MCTC) and more recently, with input from the Melbourne Children’s Clinical Trial SOP Working Group. Here you will be able to find all current versions of supporting documents for use in clinical trials and other human research-related activities. Please use the ‘Contact’ tab for all enquiries related to the use of the repository and its contents.
