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.

I am a neuroscientist, studying fundamental mechanisms related to addiction. A major feature of my research is the neuropharmacological characterisation of potential novel therapeutic strategies to combat drug-seeking behaviour.
This is an application for reappointment as a Principal Research Fellow. My primary area of research is preclinical studies of addiction, with a particular emphasis on relapse. I am increasingly engaged in translational studies.
Alcohol,tobacco, Illicit And Prescribed Drugs: Prospective Cohorts And RCTs
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$714,745.00
Summary
This research addresses the important areas of infant, childhood, adolescent, adult, and family well-being and the effects of exposure to tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug use. The impacts of these substances on psychological, cognitive, vocational, and physical well-being remain poorly researched. A related set of research projects is aimed to build the evidence base for effective intervention to prevent or manage psychological and cognitive sequelae from such exposure.

Molecular Characterisation Of Steroid Hormone-dependent Diseases Of The Cardiovascular And Reproductive Systems
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,085,790.00
Summary
Peter Fuller is both a molecular and clinical endocrinologist. His research examines steroid hormones in cardiovascular disease and cancer. The hormone aldosterone controls blood pressure and has a significant role in cardiac failure. This work will enable the development of tissue-specific blockers of aldosterone for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Steroid hormones also have a role in granulosa cell tumours of the ovary and breast cancer; new insights will lead to novel therapeutics.
Adolescence has historically been viewed as a healthy time and attracted little research investment or policy attention compared to other age groups. In recent years the health problems of adolescence including mental disorder, injury and substance misuse have leapt into prominent. This application deals with the causes, consequences, policy responses and prevention of the common health problems that occur in young people.
