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.

Centre Of Research Excellence In Medicines And Ageing
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,601,415.00
Summary
Medicines have an important place in health and are commonly used for long periods, sometimes life-long. Using medicines wisely requires a careful balance between benefits and harmful effects. Currently, there is limited information to guide medicines use over a lifetime. Using large linked datasets, the CRE in Medicines and Ageing will generate much needed evidence about real world medicines use to support clinical and pharmaceutical policy decisions.
JDRF/NHMRC Diabetes Complications Centre Of Research Excellence
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,607,291.00
Summary
Despite intensive intervention some individuals with type 1 diabetes develop complications. There remains an urgent need for means to identify patients at risk of complications and new targets and therapies for preventing, arresting, treating and reversing them. The primary objective of the Diabetes Complications Centre of Research Excellence (DC-CRE) is to translate novel experimental findings into preventive/treatment strategies for the management of diabetes and its complications.
Centre For Research Excellence In Advanced Cardio-respiratory Therapies Improving OrgaN Support (ACTIONS)
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,593,631.00
Summary
Artificial hearts and lungs are increasingly used to support our most critically ill patients. A greater understanding of patient-machine interaction is needed to maximise their life-preserving potential. ACTIONS CRE will research device-related complications, improve device components, develop clinical practice guidelines, train clinical and engineering researchers and explore the cost benefits of this technology ensuring all Australians can access state-of-the-art mechanical life support.
Integrated Community Care For People With Complex Multi-morbidities
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,500,000.00
Summary
The focus of the Centre of Research Excellence (CRE) for Integrated Community Care for People with Complex Multi-morbidities (CRE-CoM) will be on reducing hospitalisation through innovative, high quality, collaborative research of home and community-based service systems, including the development of digital and virtual modes of community-based service delivery.
NHMRC Asia Pacific Centre For Innovative Dengue Prevention
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,753,925.00
Summary
World Health Organization estimates dengue incidence at around 50 million cases annually with increased frequency & severity of outbreaks in north Queensland over the last decade being mirrored around the world. The NHMRC Asia Pacific Centre for Innovative Dengue Prevention will be a world leading research facility, co-supported by Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Grand Challenges in Global Health, focussed on the discovery and implementation of innovative methods to eliminate dengue.
Centre Of Research Excellence In Prehospital Emergency Care
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,499,626.00
Summary
The Prehospital Emergency Care - Centre for Research Excellence (PEC-CRE) will build capacity in prehospital research in Australia through the conduct of collaborative research projects between academic researchers, clinicians and ambulance service providers. The overarching goal of the PEC-CRE will be to strengthen the evidence base underpinning prehospital emergency care policy and practice, to ensure that ambulance patients receive ‘the right care, in the right place, at the right time’.
Testing, Translation And Uptake Of Evidence In General Practice: A Systems Approach To Rapid Translation
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,411,050.00
Summary
Testing, Translation & Uptake of Evidence in General Practice: A systems approach. Though General Practice is the frontline of Australia’s health system, new research findings are often ignored by busy GPs, resulting in suboptimal care. We plan to improve this by: A. A network of influential GPs practices to test new research, B. Practice support units who provide GP and patient summaries of new research, C. Active transfer of successful new practices via social media, guidelines, and courses.
E-health can improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of health services. The Centre for Research Excellence in Informatics and E-health will support the design, evaluation and use of e-health systems in 3 areas: monitoring e-health safety using incident monitoring, evaluating consumer e-health safety, and developing next generation evidence-based support tools.
