Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$707,370.00
Summary
The aim of this Fellowship is to generate novel research findings to inform and facilitate reductions in the burden of road injury in Australia. The research program will place considerable emphasis on road injury prevention from a systems-perspective and will, for the first time, extend prevention efforts more ‘up-stream’ with respect to how our cities are designed to minimise road trauma and enhance population health.
Through the improved understanding of the determinants of road injury, the identification of effective and efficient preventive strategies and how best to translate the research findings, this Fellowship will facilitate reductions in the burden of road injury in Australia.
