Snake envenoming is a neglected tropical disease and results in numerous deaths, psychological problems and economic burden. Antivenoms aren't readily available in resource poor countries. The CRE will investigate the effects of venom and antivenom to improve understanding of human envenoming. It will also develop tests for early diagnosis of envenoming and undertake clinical trials of antivenom. These studies will be translated back into clinical practice to improve treatment of snake bites.
Reducing Salt Intake Using Food Policy Interventions
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,491,067.00
Summary
Excess salt consumption has been identified as a leading cause of ill health and a priority area for action. Australia and most other countries around the world have signed up to the 30% reduction in mean population salt intake recommended by the World Health Organisation, but the strategies that will be used to achieve this goal remain to be decided. This Centre will address the design, implementation, evaluation and roll out of real-world food policy interventions targeting salt reduction.

Dental Health Services Research For Improved Oral Health Outcomes
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,641,484.00
Summary
This research will generate new knowledge to improve health outcomes by investigating expenditure and financing of dental care, dental practice performance, and the impact of dental services on oral health outcomes. This is needed for health policy to deliver dental care that promotes good oral health, to identify characteristics of the dental delivery system that deliver productive outputs with good outcomes, and testing oral health outcomes in relation to the type of dental care received.
