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.

Investigation Of The Functional Role Of Parkin And PArkin Co-Regulated Gene (PACRG) In Neurodegenerative Disease.

Summary
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder affecting greater than 1% of the population at 65 years of age. Current treatment regimes treat the motor-associated symptoms of disease - tremor and muscle rigidity. There is no cure, or effective treatment to reverse or halt disease progression. Understanding the role of dysregulated proteins in the progression of PD will identify new targets for treatment of the motor and cognitive deficits observed in PD-affected individuals.
Computerised Surveillance Of Invasive Fungal Infections In Hospitals Using Existing Hospital Information Systems
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$123,453.00
Summary
Patients undergoing organ transplants or chemotherapy for cancer are susceptible to infections caused by fungi. Hospital outbreaks of fungal infections related to construction have occurred. Monitoring of these infections is required due to their considerable heath and economic costs. We aim to build a computerised system allowing for the real-time identification of fungal infections, leading to improved outcomes for patients, early recognition of hospital outbreaks and cost-savings.
