Funding Amount
$1,015,166.00
Summary
Ethical, high quality research is needed to reduce the health gap between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians. Currently, there is no critical analysis of the uptake of ethical guidelines. This study will investigate the experiences of Aboriginal communities and Aboriginal health researchers at a national level. Collected data will inform a nationally endorsed set of practical recommendations to guide future Aboriginal health research.
A Roadmap For Aboriginal And Torres Strait Islander Adolescent Health: Defining Priority Health Needs And Actions Through The Empowerment & Capacity Development Of Young People.

Funding Amount
$2,002,448.00
Summary
A third of the Indigenous population are adolescents, their health central to cultural continuity and health equity. Yet priority health needs and evidence-based responses for Indigenous adolescents remain poorly defined, a barrier to effective policy. The project is significant because it will establish a roadmap to guide actions around Indigenous adolescent health. It will also result in a network of engaged and up-skilled Indigenous young people who can drive implementation.

Funding Amount
$1,730,999.00
Summary
One in 4 people experience a stroke. On return home the person with stroke is challenged to sense, move, think, and engage in valued activities with an altered brain and body. Yet the current approach to ongoing recovery is limited. We propose to: monitor for markers of recovery using personalised sensors and artificial intelligence; deliver bursts of therapy at point of need, at home; and provide feedback through new technologies and a central hub...to stay connected, and to recover at home.
Communication Connect: Improving Long Term Communication And Mental Health Outcomes Following Stroke And Brain Injury

Funding Amount
$1,809,756.00
Summary
The 250,000 Australians living in the community with communication disability caused by stroke and traumatic brain injury experience unacceptably high rates of depression, anxiety, inactivity and social isolation. Their carers experience high levels of burden, and they struggle to access health and community services. We aim to develop and test a program of community and self-managed care, aimed at reversing these negative impacts and reducing reliance on high cost health care services.
Food And Water For Life: Co-creation And Evaluation Of Sustainable Innovations To Strengthen Food And Water Security
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,169,419.00
Summary
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples suffer a disproportionate burden of non-communicable diseases. Poor diets, exacerbated by low quality water supplies, are one of the biggest contributors to this. Through our existing long-standing partnership, his project will establish a framework and use regulatory analysis to support the Aboriginal community in Walgett to develop a transformative community-led food and water security action plan to improve the long-term health and well-being.
