Funding Amount
$7,001,475.00
Summary
In Australia over 230,000 people live with chronic HCV infection, with an estimated annual health care cost of over > $6.5 billion if left untreated. New highly effective HCV medications - direct acting antivirals (DAAs) have a cure rate of > 90%. DAAs will revolutionise HCV care - we can now stop HCV related deaths and transmission making HCV elimination possible. This Program Grant will directly contribute to the global response to HCV elimination and Australia achieving elimination by 2 ....In Australia over 230,000 people live with chronic HCV infection, with an estimated annual health care cost of over > $6.5 billion if left untreated.

Funding Amount
$17,802,750.00
Summary
The Program brings together clinicians, epidemiologists and statisticians in a unique endeavour combating heart attack and stroke as well as diabetes and kidney disease, all of which are closely related, through “hardening of the arteries”. The Program will provide fresh evidence on innovative strategies for treating and preventing these disorders, as well as strategies for translating them into more effective health policy and improved clinical practice.
Creating Safe, Effective Systems Of Care: The Translational Challenge
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$10,855,710.00
Summary
There are considerable improvements to be made to the health system if we make a concerted effort to translate what we already know is effective into routine practice. This research will further our knowledge of how to translate evidence into practice more effectively and spread best practice throughout the health system.
Drug-related deaths in Australia account for 6.6% of all deaths (ABS 2009). In much of the rural Asia-Pacific, pesticide poisoning and snakebite are major problems. We propose an integrated and international human toxicology research program covering medicine and chemical poisoning, serious adverse drug reactions, snake and spider bite. Our focus is on the applied research needed to detect new problems and rapidly translate early findings into better treatment, regulations & policy.
