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.

Strategies To Enhance Recruitment Of Hematopoietic Stem Cells And Their Differentiation To Retinal Pigment Epithelium

Funding Amount

Summary
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) is the leading cause of adult blindness in the western world. As the Australian population ages, many more people will suffer from this disease. This project aims to use adult stem cells, called hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) to repair injured vessels in the eye. This approach optimises healthy repair of the retina by facilitating differentiation of HSC into retinal pigment epithelium, the cells whose malfunction is the underlying initiator of the disease.
Promoting Physical Activity Participation Among Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy - A Randomised Clinical Trial.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$44,276.00
Summary
Adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) are amongst the least active members of society. These decreased activity levels places them at high risk of additional disability and disease. This program of study focuses on (i) validation of an objective community based measure of Habitual Physical Activity (HPA) and (ii) a community based randomised clinical trial comparing a novel approach “motivational training” with a standard care intervention to enhance HPA in adolescents with CP.
