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.

E-DADS: Early Detection Of Alzheimer’s Disease Subtypes
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$488,725.00
Summary
Alzheimer's disease manifests differently in different people. Some people may get the disease at younger ages or they may progress in the disease much faster than others. This grant aims to use large amounts of data from around the world to understand why these differences exist. This knowledge will be converted into a tool where data from a specific individual can be used to forecast if and when they will get the disease and how fast that disease will progress and how it could be prevented.
Validating And Optimising The Analysis Of Magnetic Resonance Physiology Data

Funding Amount

Summary
Combined electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used to detect the anatomical areas in the brain that show electrical activity. Several centres worldwide use this technique to localise the seizure focus in patients with epilepsy. However, there is a lack of validation of the currently applied techniques. Current analysis methods have been developed and validated for other fMRI paradigms, such as motor tasks. It is not known whether the same principles ar ....Combined electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is used to detect the anatomical areas in the brain that show electrical activity. Several centres worldwide use this technique to localise the seizure focus in patients with epilepsy. However, there is a lack of validation of the currently applied techniques. Current analysis methods have been developed and validated for other fMRI paradigms, such as motor tasks. It is not known whether the same principles are applicable and optimal for fMRI-EEG data. The proposed project aims at validating and optimising the analysis strategies for fMRI-EEG data.Read moreRead less
Improving Food Systems In Remote Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Communities For Better Food Security
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$292,639.00
Summary
The proposed project aims to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities to develop and trial a monitoring and evaluation learning approach to improving the capacity of organisations and services to improve the food system and services they deliver, to provide an affordable and healthy food supply. This proposed research will contribute to building an evidence-base on effective strategies to improve food security for Indigenous people living in remote Australia.
If Australia’s health system is to benefit from the digital revolution, we need much more than new technology; we need research evidence, skills and workforce to translate these advances into effective working health services. The Centre for Research Excellence in Digital Health brings together for the first time the major Australian centres of e-health research to tackle the fundamental challenges that impede the creation of truly safe, efficient and effective digital health services.
The Use Of Real-World Evidence To Support Regulatory And Reimbursement Decisions
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$91,538.00
Summary
Traditionally, medicines are studied extensively in clinical trials before they are widely available. More recently, some medicines have been allowed to enter the market without complete data on their benefits and risks. This means that these issues can only be studied once a medicine is on the market and used in routine clinical practice; this is referred to as real-world evidence. This research evaluates if this evidence is sufficient to prove that a medicine is safe and that it works
Deaths In Young People Involved In The Youth Justice System: Towards Evidence-based Prevention
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$620,705.00
Summary
Young offenders have complex health needs and are at dramatically increased risk of preventable death due to drug overdose, suicide and injury. In order to inform effective prevention, a more detailed understanding of mortality in these young people is required. This project will examine all deaths in young offenders in Queensland from 1993 to 2015, identify targets for prevention, and recommend policy reforms and interventions that are supported by evidence and are culturally appropriate.
