Eileen has a record of participating in Projects and Grants:
Project Team Member RAH Research Fund grant Jan 2012, "A single-blinded randomised controlled trial to determine the effect of topical application of Calendula officialis based lotion on the prevalence of clinically significant radiation induced dermatis in women undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer"
UniSA project representative Department of Health and Ageing joint university grant 2011- 2014, to implement Virtual Environment Radiotherapy Training (VERT)
Research Team Member for The use of Simulation in Radiation Science Curricula project. This scoping and consultative study was commissioned by Health Workforce Austalia.
Project Leader for National Radiation Therapy Student Clinical Assessment form project 2007-09. This collaborative project (in conjunction with Queensland University of Technology, RMIT University, University of Newcastle, Monash University and University of Sydney),was funded by the Department of Health and Ageing and has resulted in the development of a new national standard assessment tool. This is now used in all Radiation Therapy sites for all Australian Radiation Therapy Students from July 2009.
