Summary
AOD use is the number one risk factor for the most death and disability combined in all age groups in Australia. This CRE's mission is to reduce the burden and cost of primary and complex comorbid AOD problems in Australia, by using MBC to increase the capacity of the AOD sector to deliver evidence based, efficient and cost effective care to clients.
Centre Of Research Excellence In Cognitive Health: Evidence, Intervention And Population Modelling
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,499,872.00
Summary
Cognitive health is essential for productivity at all ages. Common chronic diseases such as diabetes, and risk factors such as smoking, can reduce cognitive function and increase risk of cognitive decline. Our Centre aims to build evidence about the things that impact on cognitive health and lead to cognitive decline; to develop methods of reducing cognitive decline; and to measure the impact of cognitive impairment at the national level to inform the government on costs and planning.
Centre For Research Excellence In Stroke Rehabilitation And Brain Recovery
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,595,746.00
Summary
The Centre of Research Excellence in Stroke Rehabilitation and Brain Recovery will transform the stroke research and practice landscape in Australia, and accelerate the development of new interventions strongly supported by neuroscience. This unique collaboration will improve patient selection and rehabilitation research methods, create a training culture for the next generation of rehabilitation researchers and effectively implement proven cost effective interventions for Australians.
Population Health At The Clinical Interface: Pregnancy And Childbirth
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$2,577,944.00
Summary
While major pregnancy and childbirth issues (such preterm birth) persist, new challenges (such as increased obstetric interventions) have arisen. This CRE will prepare a new generation of scientists to use the most advanced research methods to address new challenges in perinatal health in a timely manner using large population health data sets. We propose a unique research portfolio that extends from the laboratory bench to the bedside and to population health and health services research.
