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’.
Testing, Translation And Uptake Of Evidence In General Practice: A Systems Approach To Rapid Translation
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,411,050.00
Summary
Testing, Translation & Uptake of Evidence in General Practice: A systems approach. Though General Practice is the frontline of Australia’s health system, new research findings are often ignored by busy GPs, resulting in suboptimal care. We plan to improve this by: A. A network of influential GPs practices to test new research, B. Practice support units who provide GP and patient summaries of new research, C. Active transfer of successful new practices via social media, guidelines, and courses.
Centre Of Research Excellence In Medicines And Ageing
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,601,415.00
Summary
Medicines have an important place in health and are commonly used for long periods, sometimes life-long. Using medicines wisely requires a careful balance between benefits and harmful effects. Currently, there is limited information to guide medicines use over a lifetime. Using large linked datasets, the CRE in Medicines and Ageing will generate much needed evidence about real world medicines use to support clinical and pharmaceutical policy decisions.
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.
Integrated Community Care For People With Complex Multi-morbidities
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,500,000.00
Summary
The focus of the Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) for Integrated Community Care for People with Complex Multi-morbidities (CRE-CoM) will be on reducing hospitalisation through innovative, high quality, collaborative research of home and community-based service systems, including the development of digital and virtual modes of community-based service delivery.
The CRE in Telehealth will advance knowledge and research capacity in telehealth to increase the availability of healthcare to all Australians. Modern communication technologies used in telehealth have the potential to revolutionise healthcare delivery. The CRE will focus on health service settings where access is currently challenging: Small rural hospitals; residential aged care facilities; people’s homes (particularly for disabled and older people); and indigenous communities.
Building Public Health Capacity For Complex Questions, Complex Settings Complex Interventions

Summary
We describe a program of continuing education and development for postdoctoral staff in the transition from completing a PhD to becoming independent researchers. Their goals - and ours - are that at the end of the program they will initiate their own research programs, as part of a research team and will secure competitive funding to do so. The focus of the application is building capacity across two research groups, with the Lead Applicants (LA's) developing the formal program.

Their goals - and ours - are that at the end of the program they will initiate their own research programs, as part of a research team and will secure competitive funding to do so. The focus of the application is building capacity across two research groups, with the Lead Applicants (LA's) developing the formal program. Mother and Child Health Research, La Trobe University and the Department of General Practice, University of Melbourne are sited in Carlton and the LA's have a more than 10 year history of successful collaboration and a strong interest in mothers' and children's health. The applicants have a record of tackling difficult research, including population groups who are often excluded - Indigenous and immigrant women - and addressing difficult questions. The program of research addresses a set of complex problems ranging from intimate partner violence to preterm birth and substance abuse. These come to light in primary care, hospitals or communities. These problems require complex interventions, developed from a broad research base, to be implemented in different settings with diverse designs, from qualitative research to community trials. Multi-level interventions to change policy or practice, and health service and health economic evaluations will also be important aspects. Individual mentoring by LA's will involve specific supervision, mentoring and support of Team Investigators (TI's). There will also be co-mentoring by TI's, personal development and skills development. The research program will build capacity through participation in multidisciplinary research. The importance of research transfer and research translation will be emphasized through lunchtime seminars on public health advocacy, with content and policy component, led by TI's and supported by LA. There will be a national conference allowance for presentation of research findings, with a prior presentation to all staff here for feedback. Workshops will be held by LA's and TI's with established skills in reviewing manuscripts for journals and in editing. The outcomes of this program will be a stronger research capacity, improved research, sound health policy, better health care and improved health.Read moreRead less

The health of Indigenous people in Australia is considerably worse than that of their non-Indigenous counterparts. Despite significant efforts to improve Indigenous health outcomes, little progress has been made and new strategies are required.

Despite significant efforts to improve Indigenous health outcomes, little progress has been made and new strategies are required. The majority of Indigenous health research has been conducted by non-Indigenous researchers, with Indigenous health researchers assisting in relatively minor roles. This project brings together a team of experienced health researchers who will support a group of 6 Indigenous scholars to complete high quality PhDs in areas of strategic importance for Indigenous health at the community level. These Indigenous scholars are committed to improving Indigenous health and hold, in many cases, quite senior positions with various Indigenous health organisations. The training they will receive through this project will provide them with the skills to address some of the most pressing Indigenous health issues of the early 21st century, and equip them to lead the next generation of Indigenous health research and policy development.Read moreRead less
