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.

Blocking Paths To Suicide: A Data Linkage Program To Identify Modifiable Risk Factors For Self-poisoning And Suicide In Australia
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$501,205.00
Summary
This research examines the relationship between medicines use and suicide. Some medicines may be more toxic than others and identification of these could allow for targeted restrictions. In addition, medication use practices may influence self-harm and suicide. This research will identify patterns (e.g. non-adherence prior to death, incorrect doses) to pinpoint beneficial or harmful practices. This will improve outcomes and help guide suicide prevention through targeted legislation and policy.
Structural Basis For Targeting Wnt Signalling Pathway In Cancer
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$645,205.00
Summary
Cells sense and respond to a variety of stimuli by activating different signaling pathways. The Wnt pathway is important in embryonic development as it controls cell division and specialization. In adults, dysregulation of this pathway can lead to aberrant cell division and cancer. This proposal will use structural biology to look at several steps of this pathway at the molecular level. This will provide answers on how this pathway works and will lead to new ways to target it therapeutically.
Using Protein Structure And Dynamics To Facilitate Drug Discovery
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,512,250.00
Summary
G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are the largest family of membrane proteins in the human genome, and drugs targeting these receptors account for 35% of marketed drugs. This project aims to determine atomic-level structural information of how drugs bind and specifically interact with therapeutically relevant GPCRs. Outcomes of this research will facilitate the design of future development of selective and effective drugs.
