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.

At least 6 young Australians are diagnosed each day with type 1 diabetes. This Program aims to change the way type 1 diabetes is managed by proactively treating its underlying mechanisms. We will develop safer and more effective immune therapies, develop islet transplantation, look for better markers of disease, and identify ways to preserve insulin-producing cells. The Program aims to propel type 1 diabetes research forward to reach the goals of prevention and cure.
Intervening In The Natural History Of Type 1 Diabetes: An Integrated Approach

Funding Amount
$9,466,000.00
Summary
This Program brings together four of Australia’s top type 1 diabetes clinical and lab-based research teams. The program has three intersecting themes. The first theme, pathogenesis, focuses on early life and understanding why type 1 diabetes develops. The second theme, prevention, seeks to identifying new drugs to stop the disease from occurring. The third theme, treatment, aims to improve therapies to replace the cells that are destroyed during the disease process.
Finding New Evidence Based Therapies For Treating Heart Disease And Stimulating Regeneration

Funding Amount
$11,088,182.00
Summary
Heart disease is the leading cause of death and disability in our society. This interactive team of clinicians and basic scientists will exploit the latest advances in genome technology and stem cell biology to gain greater insights into the genetic basis of heart disease, elucidate the molecular mechanisms of cardiac function and disease and translate these insights into the development of novel therapeutic approaches for the prevention and treatment of heart disease.
