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.

Improving Transplant Outcomes Through Translational Research
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$406,585.00
Summary
The aim of my research is to improve transplant outcomes by developing novel, clinically realistic, therapeutic options for patients with end-organ failure and for a specific cohort of patients with type 1 diabetes. The goal is to advance transplantation by developing a strong interactive research environment where initiatives are quickly interchanged between the laboratory and the clinic. These include novel trials in islet transplantation and use of genomics to improve transplant outcomes.
Developing Clinical Islet Transplantation For Type 1 Diabetes
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$387,337.00
Summary
This fellowship will provide me the opportunity to advance islet transplantation as a curative treatment for people with type 1 diabetes. The ultimate goal is to use cell-based therapy to achieve insulin independence for all people with type 1 diabetes. It aims to do this by developing a collaborative network between scientists and clinicians to advance human islet transplantation as a treatment for type 1 diabetes and to develop genetically engineered pig cells as a novel source of insulin prod ....This fellowship will provide me the opportunity to advance islet transplantation as a curative treatment for people with type 1 diabetes.

Improving The Outcome Of Critically Ill Patients Through The Generation Of Evidence And Its Translation Into Practice
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$329,822.00
Summary
This research program will test new approaches to sepsis, traumatic brain injury, kidney protection, nutrition, post-operative care, sedation, cardiac arrest, and mobilisation of acutely ill patients to deliver better outcomes. Experimental research will help understand kidney injury during severe infection and develop new ways of protecting the brain during cardiac arrest. Database investigations will identify successful patterns of treatment and potential new fields of investigations.
Conducting Clinical Research In Chronic Kidney Disease
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$569,219.00
Summary
The burden of Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is large, increasing, and ultimately unsustainable. One in ten Australians have CKD which puts them at higher risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer, and a higher likelihood of an early death. CKD also has a negative impact on people's lifestyles and relationships. Practitioner Fellowship support will allow me relief from my clinical commitments to invest in promising lines of new enquiry to support people with CKD and their carers.
Guaranteeing Survival Into Adulthood, Physical Health And Psychological Well-being To Children Born With Single Ventricles.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$342,773.00
Summary
Being born with a single pumping heart chamber is the most severe heart condition but thanks to several operations we can see them survive. A growing population of young functional adults now face an uncertain future and we have no options for them. A/Pr Y d’Udekem is a leading paediatric cardiac surgeon. His research aims to provide the medications, reinterventions and artificial hearts that are necessary to give them a longer and fulfilling life.
Using Mouse Models To Identify Better Therapies For Acute Leukemia And Myelodysplasia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Summary
Despite great advances in the understanding of the genes that cause cancers of the blood, cure rates for patients with acute leukemia, or a more indolent form called myelodyspslaia, has not improved significantly over the last 20 years, with the majority of patients dying from resistant or recurrent disease within 5 years. Our research will use mouse models of acute leukemia and myelodysplasia to identify the critical genetic pathways that drive these diseases and to design and test new therapie ....Despite great advances in the understanding of the genes that cause cancers of the blood, cure rates for patients with acute leukemia, or a more indolent form called myelodyspslaia, has not improved significantly over the last 20 years, with the majority of patients dying from resistant or recurrent disease within 5 years. Our research will use mouse models of acute leukemia and myelodysplasia to identify the critical genetic pathways that drive these diseases and to design and test new therapies that can be taken into clinical trials.Read moreRead less
