The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

Assessing The Impact Of Climate Change On The Transmission Of Mosquito-borne Diseases In Australia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$346,689.00
Summary
Global climate change has potentially serious effects on the transmission of mosquito-borne diseases (MBDs). Bayesian spatiotemporal models will be developed to explore the underlying mechanisms of the current distribution of MBDs and to forecast future changes in pattern of these diseases. The model will be useful in examining where and when MBDs are likely to occur and how the future MBDs control strategies and prevention efforts need to be applied and strengthened in Australia.
Patient-reported Outcomes And Treatment Preferences In 1,900 Men With Prostate Cancer Participating In Two International, Randomised Clinical Trials
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$318,768.00
Summary
Men with high-risk or metastatic prostate cancer are faced with difficult and uncertain trade-offs between quantity and quality of life when making a treatment decision. The proposed study extends two promising, ongoing clinical trials by describing the quality of life outcomes and treatment.
Validation And Implementation Of A Diabetic Retinopathy Quality Of Life Item Bank
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$468,362.00
Summary
The current proposal will validate a comprehensive diabetic retinopathy quality of life item bank using a computer adaptive testing system in an Australian, and Singapore-Chinese, -Malay and -Indian sample. The national and international translational applications of the final item bank for researchers, clinicians and policy planners will be substantial, allowing the outcomes of novel treatment therapies for diabetic retinopathy to be accurately assessed from the patient’s perspective resulting ....The current proposal will validate a comprehensive diabetic retinopathy quality of life item bank using a computer adaptive testing system in an Australian, and Singapore-Chinese, -Malay and -Indian sample. The national and international translational applications of the final item bank for researchers, clinicians and policy planners will be substantial, allowing the outcomes of novel treatment therapies for diabetic retinopathy to be accurately assessed from the patient’s perspective resulting in better allocation of funding and resources.Read moreRead less
Melanoma is the 4th most common cancer diagnosed in Australia. Advanced melanoma frequently spreads to other organs and can acquire resistance to anti-melanoma treatments, making it fundamentally incurable. I am focused on investigating the mechanisms underlying melanoma disease progression. I will achieve this by comparing the biological nature of melanoma cells at different stages of disease and therapy-resistance to identify new targets for the more effective treatment of patients with melano ....Melanoma is the 4th most common cancer diagnosed in Australia.
