Creating Safe, Effective Systems Of Care: The Translational Challenge
Funder

Funding Amount
$10,855,710.00
Summary
There are considerable improvements to be made to the health system if we make a concerted effort to translate what we already know is effective into routine practice. This research will further our knowledge of how to translate evidence into practice more effectively and spread best practice throughout the health system.
Central to improving the management of patients with cancer is an understanding of the molecular drivers of cancer. Based on our fundamental discoveries about the role of cell growth and perturbed cell signalling as drivers of cancer we will use the integration of molecular and imaging biomarkers with targeted therapies to translate this knowledge into better outcomes for cancer patients with defined molecular drivers of their cancer.
Improving Chronic Disease Outcomes For Indigenous Australians: Causes,Interventions, System Change

Funding Amount
$8,788,853.00
Summary
Diabetes and cardiovascular diseases occur in epidemic proportions among Indigenous Australians, with very early age of onset and high rates of preventable complications. This Program will bring together a multi skilled team of researchers with Indigenous partners to better understand the development of these conditions, and to guide the development of diet, lifestyle, clinical and health system interventions in order to minimise their adverse impacts and improve health overall.
Generating The Evidence To Control Cancer And Optimise Outcomes

Funding Amount
$6,564,341.00
Summary
Our Program addresses the public health aspects of common cancers, particularly cancers of the skin and gynaecological tracts. Each year in Australia, nearly 400,000 people are treated for skin cancer, and more than 3,500 women develop ovarian or uterine cancer. Our aims are first, to understand how we might prevent these cancers in the future; second, to enhance diagnosis of these cancers; and third, to improve the survival and quality of life for people who are diagnosed with these cancers
Clinical, Public Health And Policy Interventions To Combat Cardiovascular Diseases
Funder

Funding Amount
$24,025,090.00
Summary
This program will generate and translate evidence from high-quality research designed to inform the decisions of health care providers and policy makers about best strategies for the prevention and treatment of cardiometabolic conditions. The program, with both domestic and global relevance, will address a spectrum of issues, with translational outcomes for clinical research.
