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.

Applying Pharmacometrics To Develop Novel Treatment Strategies For Staphylococcus Aureus Infections In Children
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$368,562.00
Summary
My research will determine the best way to give antibiotics to treat Staphylococcus aureus, one of the most common causes of infection in children. This includes finding out if we can provide highly effective treatment with antibiotics given by mouth instead of through a drip, and with fewer doses each day, so we can treat kids at home instead of in hospital. I will also explore new ways to use common antibiotics to treat antibiotic-resistant infections.
Optimizing Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy To Support Hospital-in-the-home Program Across The Unique Environmental Conditions Of Australia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$645,205.00
Summary
This project aims to solve problems associated with stability and dosing of antibiotic infusions given to patients in their homes, to support decision making by doctors and regulators. Currently, there is a lack of adequate data that complies with contemporary requirements. We will study infusion preparation both in laboratory settings and in ‘real-life’ conditions while being used by patients. We will enhance the stability of antibiotic preparations and optimize doses for effective treatment.
