We often receive requests to recruit people registered with the NDSS or to access NDSS data from researchers, universities and government and non-government bodies to assist them with research projects or to plan for the emerging needs of people with diabetes. We assess all research or data requests on specific criteria, such as the value of the research and the protection of the privacy of individuals who have consented to be involved. If you are registered with the NDSS, you may receive information from Diabetes Australia about opportunities to participate in research conducted by third parties. There is no obligation to participate. You can ask us not to contact you about opportunities to participate in research.
