Good nutrition is a vital element in a healthy start to life. Determining the correct foods to ensure that pregnant women meet both their needs as well as those of their new baby can be very confusing. Do I need to take iron supplements? How can I ensure I get enough iodine? This project will develop new methods for evaluating the effects of nutrients and to pass that information on to health practitioners so that Australian mothers will be in no doubt about the best diet for them and their chil ....Good nutrition is a vital element in a healthy start to life.

Reducing Salt Intake Using Food Policy Interventions
Funder

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.
Building A Cohort Of Indigenous Research Leaders In Community Health Development

Summary
The health of Indigenous people in Australia is considerably worse than that of their non-Indigenous counterparts. Despite significant efforts to improve Indigenous health outcomes, little progress has been made and new strategies are required. The majority of Indigenous health research has been conducted by non-Indigenous researchers, with Indigenous health researchers assisting in relatively minor roles. This project brings together a team of experienced health researchers who will support a g ....The health of Indigenous people in Australia is considerably worse than that of their non-Indigenous counterparts. Despite significant efforts to improve Indigenous health outcomes, little progress has been made and new strategies are required. The majority of Indigenous health research has been conducted by non-Indigenous researchers, with Indigenous health researchers assisting in relatively minor roles. This project brings together a team of experienced health researchers who will support a group of 6 Indigenous scholars to complete high quality PhDs in areas of strategic importance for Indigenous health at the community level. These Indigenous scholars are committed to improving Indigenous health and hold, in many cases, quite senior positions with various Indigenous health organisations. The training they will receive through this project will provide them with the skills to address some of the most pressing Indigenous health issues of the early 21st century, and equip them to lead the next generation of Indigenous health research and policy development.Read moreRead less
This CRE aims to build a world-leading, multi-disciplinary research team that aims to have a real impact on finding and implementing policy solutions to the global obesity epidemic. It will support policy makers and public health advocates to create potent and sustained policy change by evaluating potential policy options and their impacts on environments and systems, enhancing policy development and implementation processes, and monitoring the actions of the public and private sectors.
