Funding Amount
$703,705.00
Summary
Clinicians are lacking timely and sensitive data to detect treatment failure in MS. We will create a paradigm shift in MS care by developing an electronic patient-centred health care system, ‘InforMS’, that becomes a “one-stop-shop” management system which empowers and activates people with MS to collect invaluable time-sensitive monitoring data. We will test InforMS on around 3,000 people with MS to measure uptake and ensure it supports health improvements and changes to clinical practice.
Enhancing Hepatitis C Testing And Treatment Among People Who Inject Drugs In Drug Treatment Settings: The ETHOS III Study
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$1,349,604.00
Summary
Progress towards hepatitis C elimination has been slowed. Given that most people with hepatitis C have a history of injecting drug use, reducing hepatitis C burden requires scale-up of enhanced testing and treatment for people who inject drugs. This Partnership project will evaluate an intervention to enhance hepatitis C testing and treatment in drug treatment clinics and develop a translational framework to scale-up hepatitis C care in this setting nationally.
