Centre Of Excellence For Clinical Research Training In Translational Cardiology

Funding Amount
$2,622,253.00
Summary
We aim to convert novel scientific findings to better treating patients with end-stage heart disease. A secondary aim is to train clinicians with a better understanding of sophisticated scientific approaches so they can better transfer this knowledge to health practices and policies. We will study new ways of identifying patients who are likely to suffer from heart attacks as well as those with heart problems who appear to function well but in fact have poor health and life outlook.
The Victorian Centre For Applied Biostatistics (VCAB): Building Core Methodological Capacity For Population Health

Summary
Biostatistics is the scientific discipline that focusses on the methods used to design and analyse research studies on human health. Doctors and other researchers conduct increasingly complex studies to identify best approaches for the prevention and treatment of disease, and these studies must be underpinned by sound biostatistical methods. This Centre will develop a critical mass of expertise in this under-resourced area around a program of methodological research, translation and training.
