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.

This outward-looking proposal brings together stakeholders from multiple sectors in Australia and the UK to create, use and share better understandings of how to measure NCD-relevant green space qualities. These qualities will be tested with robust measures of mental ill-health and cardiometabolic diseases in Sydney, Wollongong, Glasgow and Edinburgh. This new evidence will be used in the co-design of green space quality policy options intended to promote healthier communities for all.
Joining Impact Models Of Transport With Spatial Measures Of The Built Environment JIBE
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$814,558.00
Summary
This project will use spatial analysis, transport behaviour and simulation modelling to generate policy relevant evidence on how built environments can improve population health by supporting active travel in Australia and the United Kingdom. We will estimate built environment scenarios that improve physical activity, air quality, noise pollution and road injuries and show the reduction in non-communicable disease burden by socio-economic groups from creating healthy built environments.
Built Environments And Child Health In WalEs And AuStralia (BEACHES)
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$797,256.00
Summary
A better understanding of how the built environment drives obesity in children will inform evidence-based planning policy and practice strategies to prevent the rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in future generations. We will bring together five large UK and Australian cohort studies to understand how complex and interacting built environment factors influence modifiable risk factors (physical inactivity, sedentary time, unhealthy diet) for NCD’s across childhood.
