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.

Case-control Study To Promote Oral Health In Asthmatic Children:Natural Dietary Strategies To Conserve Teeth Erosion
Funder

Funding Amount
$112,500.00
Summary
Asthmatic children are at risk of dental corrosion, from medications that shut off saliva. Saliva protects teeth from acids in soft drinks and stomach-acid reflux. Dentist, William George Young and Nutritionist, Peter Davies, at the University of Queensland study children’s teeth, diet and lifestyles for the best natural methods to promote oral health. They will counsel parents and children on diets that conserve the teeth from dental erosion and decay by salivary stimulation. Patients need to s ....Asthmatic children are at risk of dental corrosion, from medications that shut off saliva. Saliva protects teeth from acids in soft drinks and stomach-acid reflux. Dentist, William George Young and Nutritionist, Peter Davies, at the University of Queensland study children’s teeth, diet and lifestyles for the best natural methods to promote oral health. They will counsel parents and children on diets that conserve the teeth from dental erosion and decay by salivary stimulation. Patients need to self-manage their asthma and diets to avoid negative outcomes and costs in acute medical and dental therapy for these two chronic conditions.Read moreRead less
Measuring Changes In Fluids, Fat, Muscle Mass, Proteins & Other Body Components Non-invasively Through Course Of Illness
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$120,000.00
Summary
The course of non-cancer related disease is difficult to assess clinically making it hard for clinicians to accurately predict the end of life course of illness for patients. No matter what the end of life disease is, death will involve multi-system organ failure and changes in body composition. These changes, including fluid distribution, muscle mass and type and fat mass as well as measures of body mass index, basal metabolic rate and arm muscle circumference can be accurately followed with no ....The course of non-cancer related disease is difficult to assess clinically making it hard for clinicians to accurately predict the end of life course of illness for patients. No matter what the end of life disease is, death will involve multi-system organ failure and changes in body composition. These changes, including fluid distribution, muscle mass and type and fat mass as well as measures of body mass index, basal metabolic rate and arm muscle circumference can be accurately followed with non-invasive multi-frequency bio-impedance. This information will provide a basis to either confirm the clinical diagnosis or lead to recommendations for change.Read moreRead less
