Centre Of Research Excellence In Enhanced Dementia Diagnosis (CREEDD)
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$3,000,000.00
Summary
The diagnosis of dementia is often difficult, especially in its early stages. The current delays and uncertainties in diagnosing dementia cause anxiety in patients and limit treatment options. A number of new technologies have demonstrated their value in clinical dementia research, but have not been adopted into clinical practice. The Centre of Research Excellence in Enhanced Dementia Diagnosis will provide a pathway to implement new technologies to transform dementia diagnosis in Australia.
TB is a global public health problem, responsible for the deaths of 2 million children and young adults annually. Drug resistant strains of TB are emerging and pose a threat even in countries where TB is well controlled, such as Australia. Research undertaken in this CRE will translate into improved treatments, diagnostics and strategies to prevent transmission. The CRE will build capacity for research on TB in our region and provide a legal framework to support public health policy.
Centre For Population Health Research On Electromagnetic Energy
Funder

Funding Amount
$2,658,622.00
Summary
This CRE brings together leading population health researchers to investigate the health effects of mobile phones and magnetic resonance imaging. It will address high priority research questions identified by the WHO. It will generate new knowledge that leads to improved health outcomes through a 5 year research program. The outcomes will be translated into health policy and practice through international and national organisations. The CRE will train PhDs and postdoctoral research fellows.
