Summary
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are living to older ages, with numbers of older people expected to double by 2026. Respecting and supporting this population to age well is vital, yet the challenges and impacts of meeting these needs are poorly understood. This world first Good Spirit Good Life Centre for Research Excellence, will deliver the evidence needed to improve health and wellbeing of this group and build the capability of services and systems that support them as they age.
National Centre Of Research Excellence To Improve Management Of Peripheral Arterial Disease

National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,618,637.00
Summary
Approximately 15% of adults have blockages or weakness of major arteries in the periphery, associated with impaired quality of life and a high mortality. Significant management deficiencies for these problems include limited diagnostic, prognostic and treatment options, as well as poor adoption of evidence based practice. The proposed national centre will bring together a group of experts in the field to instigate a number of initiatives to improve patient management.

Funding Amount
$2,592,418.00
Summary
The CRE for Integrated Quality Improvement (CRE-IQI) will improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health outcomes by accelerating and strengthening large-scale primary health care (PHC) quality improvement efforts. As an Innovation Platform, it will build on and extend the work of the ABCD National Research Partnership, and leverage the efforts of researchers, service providers and policy makers to address priority areas for development of IQI in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander PHC.
E-health can improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of health services. The Centre for Research Excellence in Informatics and E-health will support the design, evaluation and use of e-health systems in 3 areas: monitoring e-health safety using incident monitoring, evaluating consumer e-health safety, and developing next generation evidence-based support tools.
Immunisation In Under Studied And Special Risk Populations: Closing The Gap In Knowledge Through A Multidisciplinary Approach
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,499,969.00
Summary
Much of the vaccine research which informs national policy is conducted by the pharmaceutical industry or by government. However, there are critical research gaps in special-risk and under-served populations where targeted research is not commercially viable. These include research in the extremes of age, Indigenous Australians, migrants, refugees, immunosuppressed and traveller populations. This CRE will address research gaps in such populations, which have not been addressed elsewhere, using n ....Much of the vaccine research which informs national policy is conducted by the pharmaceutical industry or by government.
