The Victorian Centre For Applied Biostatistics (VCAB): Building Core Methodological Capacity For Population Health
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,497,184.00
Summary
Biostatistics is the scientific discipline that focusses on the methods used to design and analyse research studies on human health. Doctors and other researchers conduct increasingly complex studies to identify best approaches for the prevention and treatment of disease, and these studies must be underpinned by sound biostatistical methods. This Centre will develop a critical mass of expertise in this under-resourced area around a program of methodological research, translation and training.
The Centre for Research Excellence in Discovering Indigenous Strategies to improve Cancer Outcomes Via Engagement, Research Translation and Training (DISCOVER-TT) aims to reduce the marked disparities in diagnosis, treatment and survival for Indigenous Australians with cancer. DISCOVER-TT’s co-ordinated, collaborative, Indigenous-led research program will feature extensive stakeholder engagement to ensure its work is relevant and applicable, and will enhance research capacity by developing early ....The Centre for Research Excellence in Discovering Indigenous Strategies to improve Cancer Outcomes Via Engagement, Research Translation and Training (DISCOVER-TT) aims to reduce the marked disparities in diagnosis, treatment and survival for Indigenous Australians with cancer.

Improving The Lives Of Young People With Type 1 Diabetes Using State-of-the-Art Therapies
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,599,598.00
Summary
T1D profoundly affects the lives of an increasing number of young people and their families. H The proposed centre acknowledges these challenges and recognises the urgent need for a comprehensive and holistic approach involving a broad range of expertise, methodologies and collaboration. The centre will utilize clinical expertise of the CI’s, generating new knowledge for the successful development and use of technology in closed loop and semi-closed systems in young people with T1D.
Creating Sustainable Healthcare: Ensuring New Diagnostics Avoid Harms, Improve Outcomes, And Direct Resources Wisely
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,497,658.00
Summary
Novel imaging, biomarkers and genomic tests for risk assessment and early detection are emerging as major forces for change in clinical practice. While providing advances and new benefits for patients, new technologies can also have harmful, unintended consequences - overdiagnosis and overtreatment. This multidisciplinary CRE will investigate how to respond to emerging technologies to optimise health outcomes while avoiding harms and directing healthcare resources wisely.
Improving Quality And Safety Of Health Care Delivery At The Interface Between The Primary And Acute Care Sectors
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,528,627.00
Summary
The interface between primary and hospital based care is a quality and safety flashpoint. Our Centre will investigate the utility of a new model of collaborative care at this interface involving upskilled general practitioners, supported by hospital specialists and multidisciplinary teams caring for people with diabetes, heart failure and people receiving palliative care. We will investigate the impact on health outcomes; consumer and health care professional satisfaction; and economic outcomes.
Centre Of Research Excellence In Prehospital Emergency Care
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,499,626.00
Summary
The Prehospital Emergency Care - Centre for Research Excellence (PEC-CRE) will build capacity in prehospital research in Australia through the conduct of collaborative research projects between academic researchers, clinicians and ambulance service providers. The overarching goal of the PEC-CRE will be to strengthen the evidence base underpinning prehospital emergency care policy and practice, to ensure that ambulance patients receive ‘the right care, in the right place, at the right time’.
This CRE is innovative because it brings new Aboriginal knowledge and perspectives into services for Aboriginal people. Led by Aboriginal researchers, the CRE will develop ways to empower Aboriginal people both as research leaders and how they engage with services. It will focus on positive pathways and overcome barriers to successful implementation to produce better health and wellbeing for all Aboriginal people.

This Centre of Research Excellence will translate the best available evidence to improve cancer outcomes through better management of infections in cancer patients, a rapidly growing group. We will establish new research networks to detect emerging multi resistant infections, develop guidelines on how to manage them, implement locally successful programs that have been shown to save lives nationally and validate new practice changing immune, bioinformatics and diagnostic technologies.
We aim to find the right treatment for children and adults with inflammatory arthritis to give the best path to symptom relief with least risk of side effects. We will build on our national data-base and biospecimens bank (A3BC-ARAD) to collect a broad range of patient-reported, biological, environmental and health information to unlock the answers using big-data analysis. We will build a resource and workforce to continue to look for cures to deliver the best outcomes for patients and society.
