 First, approach the ATR with your study idea or question for preliminary discussion.
You are encouraged to consider early discussion with ATR Management (Director, Deputy Director, Coordinator, Project Support). This process can be very useful to explore possible twin study designs, available cohorts, existing data.
The ATR can also provide details regarding sample availability, assistance in drafting approach documentation, discussion regarding possible limitations and advice regarding methodology. Communication can occur via telephone, teleconference, face to face meeting or email.

The Australian Twin Registry (ATR) charges researchers for the cost of setting up studies and recruitment of participants, including management of recruitment process, and labour and material costs for mailing out and follow up of potential study participants. Please click here for a copy of the latest ATR Charging Policy. This document also provides example quotes based on a range of standard study formats. Please note, if you are writing grant applications the ATR suggest you allow for a 5%-10% increase per year in charges to ensure you adequately cover costs.
