Chronic Kidney Disease Centre Of Research Excellence
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,606,487.00
Summary
The Chronic Kidney Disease Centre of Research Excellence (CKD.CRE) is an Australian first, dedicated to the improvement of CKD knowledge and management across the health care spectrum. With five research streams, the CKD.CRE will establish a national surveillance network, support improved detection in primary care, inform on renal supportive care and on rationalised resource utilisation. In addition, the CKD.CRE will conduct biomarker research and will establish Australia’s first CKD BioBank.
National Centre For Research Excellence In Neuromuscular Disorders: Transforming The Management Of Neuromuscular Disorders From Compassionate Assistance To Targeted Therapy And Prevention
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,805,509.00
Summary
Neuromuscular disorders affect 1 in 1,000 people, often result in progressive muscle weakness and can cause early death. At present not enough is being done to ensure translation of research into improved outcomes for patients. For the first time in Australia, the CRE-NMD will establish an integrated, comprehensive program to investigate diagnosis, prevention and treatment of neuromuscular disorders from infancy to adulthood.
Innovation In The Synthesis And Translation Of Research Evidence To Inform The Prevention, Management And Treatment Of Chronic Disease In Indigenous Populations
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,642,121.00
Summary
Chronic disease remains the principal cause of health inequality for Indigenous Australians. Primary care is critical to mounting a health system response. The Aboriginal community controlled sector is at the coal face of chronic disease management, yet requires the synthesis, utilisation, development, evaluation and translation of evidence to practice. CREATE was established for this purpose
Centre Of Research Excellence: Partnering With Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease To Transform Care And Outcomes (CRE-PACT)
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,500,000.00
Summary
CRE-PACT will partner with patients to generate and translate new high-priority evidence to improve outcomes that are important to people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We will address the topics and questions most important to patients. We will build the next generation of research leaders and a community of research-ready patient-partners. There will be an integrated pathway for evidence translation and implementation at a global scale to improve patient-centred outcomes.
Centre Of Research Excellence (CRE) In Partnership Pathways To Better Care And Outcomes For Aboriginal Young People
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,497,872.00
Summary
Childhood and adolescence is a critical period during which chronic disease in Indigenous Australians can be prevented. Using long-term data and established partnerships developed over 10-15 years from two large studies of young Aboriginal people, this team of Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers with expertise in child health, epidemiology, health services research, and implementation science will identify and test pathways to improved care and health outcomes for young Aboriginal people.
Centre For Research Excellence In End Of Life Care
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,650,129.00
Summary
The pattern of disease, dying and death has changed dramatically in Australia over the last century. ELCCRE brings together four leading research centres in end of life care and establishes strategic links with leading investigators in chronic disease, health economics and legal and ethical issues. ELCCRE will address the urgent need for evidence based end of life service delivery strategies that are responsive to the complex, unpredictable and often extended patterns of disease progression.
NHMRC Asia Pacific Centre For Innovative Dengue Prevention
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,753,925.00
Summary
World Health Organization estimates dengue incidence at around 50 million cases annually with increased frequency & severity of outbreaks in north Queensland over the last decade being mirrored around the world. The NHMRC Asia Pacific Centre for Innovative Dengue Prevention will be a world leading research facility, co-supported by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Grand Challenges in Global Health, focussed on the discovery and implementation of innovative methods to eliminate dengue.
CENTRE OF RESEARCH EXCELLENCE TO REDUCE INEQUALITY IN HEART DISEASE
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,607,253.00
Summary
There is increasing recognition of a societal responsibility to provide effective and sustainable health care to the entire population and not just to selected parts. Indigenous and regional Australians are most affected by Australia's biggest killer - heart disease. In response, the CRE to Reduce Inequality in Heart Disease, is a national collaboration of researchers from a range of health disciplines. Together they aim to address this problem by developing sustainable and cost-effective health ....There is increasing recognition of a societal responsibility to provide effective and sustainable health care to the entire population and not just to selected parts.

NHMRC Centre Of Research Excellence For Better Outcomes In Coronary Artery Disease
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,500,000.00
Summary
One Australian suffers a heart attack every 10 min, many without any prior warning. What contributes to atherosclerosis beyond traditional risk factors, and how to manage patients that suffer a heart attack despite no risk factors is not well known. This CRE will establish new biomarkers and clinical pathways for detection of subclinical atherosclerosis as well as secondary prevention strategies whilst fostering the cardiovascular research leaders of the future.
The Australian Centre of Excellence in Twin Research will build on the Australian Twin Registry, which for 30 years has played an integral part in health & medical research. The new Centre aims to expand a state-of-the-art resource for conducting research, bring together leading national and international researchers from across disciplines, and build capacity in people, techniques, and expertise to continue to enable twin research to address major health and medical issues.
