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.

Improving Outcomes For Critically Ill Patients After Traumatic Brain Injury And Blood Transfusion
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$418,049.00
Summary
The Fellowship will support an academic clinician to lead the Alfred Intensive Care Department, and the Monash ANZIC Research Centre. Two pivotal NHMRC supported clinical trials, led by the Fellow, are each the largest and most definitive trials in their fields, and will complete during Fellowship and provide extensive data for research outputs. Concurrently, a new research program to improve patients function and quality of life after critical illness, will be supported.
Optimising Emergency And Trauma Systems Through Evidence Based Pathways
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$418,049.00
Summary
Developing systems for emergency and trauma care based on strong evidence and robust data systems is crucial to the acute health sector. Through an extensive, well recognised collaboration of research groups at The Alfred, Monash and the National Trauma Research Institute, we aim to undertake world leading systems development both locally and globally, focusing on prehospital, emergency and trauma clinical care pathways significantly reducing mortality and improving functional outcomes.

National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$542,272.00
Summary
Fellowship will facilitate the further study of mechanisms of chronic childhood respiratory disease and strategies for intervention to reduce morbidity and improve quality of life for patients and families.

Funding Amount
$240,121.00
Summary
This research program will establish new approaches to sepsis, traumatic brain injury, kidney protection, transfusion, post-operative care, sedation, antibiotics and mobilization of acutely ill patients. Experimental research will help understand why the kidney malfunctions during severe infection. Database investigations will identify of successful patterns of treatment and potential new fields of investigations.

Redefining Antibiotic Dosing To Reduce Bacterial Resistance
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$474,513.00
Summary
>3000 Australians die every year from severe infections (nearly 3-fold higher in number than our annual road toll). These treatment failures are due to sub-optimal antibiotic dosing from a poor understanding of why concentrations are different in these patients. I will use my laboratory to define what antibiotic concentrations we need to achieve and perform clinical studies with my collaborative network to demonstrate that we can redefine antibiotic dosing to reduce the emergence of superbugs ....>3000 Australians die every year from severe infections (nearly 3-fold higher in number than our annual road toll).

This Fellowship will enable research into the basis for life-threatening infection in the critically ill, including severe pneumonia, septic shock and the complexities of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, as well as the translation of this research into practice (including rapid diagnostics).
