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.

Summary
Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) affect approximate 90% of persons with dementia. BPSD include depression, aggression and psychosis and have negative effects on persons with dementia and carers. Management of BPSD is costly. This project will update and enhance our theoretical model of service delivery for BPSD by turning it into a computer-based model to assist health managers and policy makers. This model will incorporate the projected increase in prevalence of dementi ....Behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) affect approximate 90% of persons with dementia. BPSD include depression, aggression and psychosis and have negative effects on persons with dementia and carers. Management of BPSD is costly. This project will update and enhance our theoretical model of service delivery for BPSD by turning it into a computer-based model to assist health managers and policy makers. This model will incorporate the projected increase in prevalence of dementia and project associated costs of care into the future. It will also incorporate information about interventions for BPSD, and how they may affect prevalence and cost in the future.Read moreRead less
This study will examine cellular immunity to the avian H5 influenza in people who have been previously infected with the currently circulating strains of H1 and H3 influenza, or in those who have been recently vaccinated with current influenza vaccines. This will give us an idea if there is any cross reactive immunity that may assist in developing immunity to pandemic strains of avian influenza, or may provide help in making antibody responses sooner to avian influenza vaccines once they are dev ....This study will examine cellular immunity to the avian H5 influenza in people who have been previously infected with the currently circulating strains of H1 and H3 influenza, or in those who have been recently vaccinated with current influenza vaccines. This will give us an idea if there is any cross reactive immunity that may assist in developing immunity to pandemic strains of avian influenza, or may provide help in making antibody responses sooner to avian influenza vaccines once they are developed. We will also establish assays to determine how immunogenic some new avian influenza vaccines are in mice.Read moreRead less
Retroviral Expression Cloning Using An Arrayed Full Length CDNA Gene Set

Summary
The sequencing of the human genome has revealed the blueprint for life, but the identities and-or functions of the majority of genes remain unknown. Here we propose to establish a radically modified retroviral expression cloning system that will, in principle, allow identification of all genes that confer a particular dominant phenotype. To do this we will establish an arrayed retroviral library of sequence-verified genes covering the entire human transcriptome. This technology will be used to i ....The sequencing of the human genome has revealed the blueprint for life, but the identities and-or functions of the majority of genes remain unknown. Here we propose to establish a radically modified retroviral expression cloning system that will, in principle, allow identification of all genes that confer a particular dominant phenotype. To do this we will establish an arrayed retroviral library of sequence-verified genes covering the entire human transcriptome. This technology will be used to identify genes involved in a wide range of medically-important biological processes.Read moreRead less
