TEPHINET has created a free resource for those keen on learning "R".

Created by epidemiologists for epidemiologists, this open-source manual serves as a great introduction to R programming for field epidemiologists responding to public health emergencies. The handbook includes sample R code and tutorials addressing a wide range of data management and visualisation tasks with epidemiological examples, and is available in an offline version for use in settings with low internet connectivity.

The Research Education Program (REP) is pleased to introduce a series of "Research Skills Workshops" to help guide an interactive group through the finer details of such things as: preparing and submitting grant proposals, tips and hints for presenting your research and the intricacies around ethics and governance processes for clinical research in WA.
