This outward-looking proposal brings together stakeholders from multiple sectors in Australia and the UK to create, use and share better understandings of how to measure NCD-relevant green space qualities. These qualities will be tested with robust measures of mental ill-health and cardiometabolic diseases in Sydney, Wollongong, Glasgow and Edinburgh. This new evidence will be used in the co-design of green space quality policy options intended to promote healthier communities for all.

Funding Amount
$644,241.00
Summary
Advanced biliary tract cancer has a median life-expectancy of ~12 months. The relatively low incidence of the disease in Australia requires a collaborative team-based approach to drive progress. To achieve this, we have established a multidisciplinary research team based in Australia, Thailand and Japan. Here, we will now build on our exciting preliminary discoveries to test new patient-specific treatments, and develop methods to efficiently identify patients who may respond to immunotherapy.
