Funding Amount
$2,500,000.00
Summary
AOD use is the number one risk factor for the most death and disability combined in all age groups in Australia. This CRE's mission is to reduce the burden and cost of primary and complex comorbid AOD problems in Australia, by using MBC to increase the capacity of the AOD sector to deliver evidence based, efficient and cost effective care to clients.
Identifying And Implementing Standardised Outcomes In Kidney Transplantation
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$274,076.00
Summary
The inconsistencies and lack of patient involvement in outcome selection for research can undermine shared decision-making and patient-centred care. Over three years, this global project will bring together patients,family members, healthcare providers, policy makers and industry to identify core outcomes in kidney transplantation. Implementation of the core outcome set will ensure that outcomes report in research are relevant, meaningful and important to patients with a kidney transplant.
OPTIMUM - Optimising Pregnancy By Translating Information For Pregnant Women

National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$190,445.00
Summary
Stillbirth is a devastating outcome for women and their families yet behavioural interventions can reduce risk. Some interventions proven to work well are not always taken up especially by vulnerable or disadvantaged women. The benefits of other interventions are less well known but they have widespread community support. This project will explore community understanding of healthy behaviours and stillbirth risk reduction to ensure development of a culturally appropriate information resource.
Safe Use Of Medicines Among The Elderly In The Community Who Receive Partial Supported Care Services
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$83,223.00
Summary
People living in supported residential services and retirement villages are frail elderly with minimal social support. Data on medicine use by people who receive intermediate care support are limited. The proposed study will investigate medicine use and related problems in this group of elderly. Strategies for optimizing medicine use and health outcomes will be identified in consultation with stakeholders. The efficacy of a preferred and feasible strategy will also be tested.
Centre For Research Excellence In Stroke Rehabilitation And Brain Recovery
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,595,746.00
Summary
The Centre of Research Excellence in Stroke Rehabilitation and Brain Recovery will transform the stroke research and practice landscape in Australia, and accelerate the development of new interventions strongly supported by neuroscience. This unique collaboration will improve patient selection and rehabilitation research methods, create a training culture for the next generation of rehabilitation researchers and effectively implement proven cost effective interventions for Australians.
Improving The Design Of Pragmatic Clinical Trials In Children
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$128,224.00
Summary
Whilst clinical research is designed to investigate interventions that improve patient health, to date, patients (including children) and their families have had no say in deciding what health outcomes matter most to them. The voices of patients and their families must be heard and used to inform how studies are designed if we are to achieve an improved model of health care and health service delivery. We propose to investigate and provide recommendations as to how this is best achieved.
Improving The Measurement Of Non-fatal Injury Burden - Validating The Global Burden Of Disease (GBD) Project Through Synthesis And Analysis Of The Six Leading Injury Outcome Cohort Studies From Around The World
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$155,443.00
Summary
This project will use data from the six largest and most comprehensive cohort studies across five countries to evaluate methods for determining the disability associated with injury. The findings will direct how injury burden is measured for by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study, and for individual country or region-specific studies. The research will have direct relevance to Australia by improving outcome measurement in ways that are critical for enhanced clinical, public health policy an ....This project will use data from the six largest and most comprehensive cohort studies across five countries to evaluate methods for determining the disability associated with injury.
