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.

Summary
The only known causes of ALS are gene mutations. State-of-the-art technologies will be used to find genetic causes of ALS to add to existing diagnostic testing and facilitate investigation into disease mechanism. ALS patients experience different disease courses, with variable age of onset, progression and duration of disease even among those with identical gene mutations. We will examine a well-characterised ALS patient cohort with differing disease manifestations to identify disease modifiers.
