Australia & New Zealand Musculoskeletal (ANZMUSC) Clinical Trials Network
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,497,654.00
Summary
Arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions place an immense and growing burden on the world’s population. They affect 28% of Australians (>6.1 million people). With the support of CRE funding, the Australia and New Zealand Musculoskeletal (ANZMUSC) Clinical Trials Network will optimise musculoskeletal health through high quality, collaborative clinical research, building research capacity and effective transfer of research outcomes into clinical practice and health policy.
E-health can improve the quality, safety and effectiveness of health services. The Centre for Research Excellence in Informatics and E-health will support the design, evaluation and use of e-health systems in 3 areas: monitoring e-health safety using incident monitoring, evaluating consumer e-health safety, and developing next generation evidence-based support tools.
A Centre For Research Excellence To Transform Outcomes Of Critically Ill Patients In ICU (CRE-ICU)
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,500,000.00
Summary
Patients who are admitted to intensive care (ICU) and require mechanical ventilation for life support account for 63,000 ICU admissions and 8,190 deaths each year in Australia, higher than the national road toll. CRE-ICU will transform outcomes for these patients by using data within registries and electronic medical records to perform high-impact, low cost clinical trials, generating new knowledge to inform national guidelines and policies and training the next generation of researchers.
Centre For Research Excellence In End Of Life Care

Centre Of Research Excellence In The Prevention Of Fall-related Injuries
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,500,000.00
Summary
Fall-related injuries are increasing in Australia. Our rapidly ageing population will lead to even greater numbers of injuries unless effective interventions are widely implemented. This CRE aims to collaboratively prioritise, co-design and test pragmatic cost-effective solutions that are ready for scale up and involve better implementation of effective interventions and generation of new interventions where no effective interventions are available.
