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.

Plasma Lipid Profiling For Risk Assessment Of Unstable Coronary Artery Disease
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$512,316.00
Summary
Age, sex, smoking, blood pressure and cholesterol level are risk factors for the development of heart disease. Most adults belong to an intermediate-risk group in which the predictive power of current risk factors is low. Most heart attacks occur in this group. Consequently, many individuals at risk are not properly identified nor treated appropriately. We are developing a new test to accurately assess risk of a future heart attack that will address this deficiency in our health system.
PEERS: Developing An IPad-delivered Social Assessment Tool For Children And Adolescents
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$898,094.00
Summary
We will produce a tool to identify social impairments in children and adolescents. The tool, called PEERSTM (Paediatric Evaluation of Emotions, Relationships & Socialisation), is at the forefront of digital health, combining cutting edge research with technology for increased accuracy, speed and efficiencies within the healthcare system. It is: i) based on social neuroscience theory; ii) supported by poof-of-concept data; and iii) of high relevance to health professionals and educators.
From The Synchrotron To The Clinic: Translation Of A Novel Functional Lung Imaging Technology
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$891,834.00
Summary
Our team has recently developed a synchrotron technology with a startling capacity for dynamic functional imaging that can act as a sensitive regional indicator of lung disease. We will demonstrate that this technology can be translated from the synchrotron to the lab and eventually the clinic. We will provide proof of this concept by the application of this technology to emphysema, asthma, lung cancer, cystic fibrosis lung disease and neonatal resuscitation.
