Research into healthcare outcomes for thousands of Australians are among the successful projects in the latest round of grants from The Hospital Research Foundation (THRF).<\/p>\n

Professor Geraint Rogers’ project on “A microbiome-targeted diet for the prevention of frailty: Translating a major advance into residential aged care settings” has received a boost of $69,990, and Professor Maria Crotty’s project “Will an eCommunity of Practice (eCOP) focused on hip fractures improve evidence based practice in aged care” has received $70,000.<\/p>\n

Research into the precision use of medicines in breast cancer also received additional funding, with $145,527 going to Dr Ashley Hopkins’ project “Precision use of medicines in breast cancer treatment: Big data to inform the impacts of concomitant non-cancer medicines on clinical outcomes”.<\/p>\n

Associate Professor Kate Laver’s project received $70,000 to evaluate how to best help individuals diagnosed with dementia take charge of their diagnosis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Associate Professor Laver said that given there is no cure for dementia, many people struggle with a diagnosis and she hopes further funding will allow tailored assistance for these individuals.<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople with dementia have reported that there is a need to maintain hope in the absence of a cure, and evidence-based interventions are equally as important in the first few weeks and months following diagnosis as it is in the longer-term,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis funding will allow us to tailor an existing \u2018take charge\u2019 program for people with dementia.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
