Find out more about our brand new Showcase Projects

Our showcase projects are a demonstration of how we at The Kids Research Institute Australia are committed to a new way of working.

One that's highly collaborative, involves the community, and pledges to deliver real outcomes within a defined period of time.

It's about working across disciplines and with people outside the  research sector -- those in policy, practice and the families who care for kids.

Our initial showcase features:

Project AREST CF: Extending life expectancy and quality of life by  preventing early lung disease in children with cystic fibrosis

Project Childrens' Cancers: developing novel therapies that fight the most aggressive children's cancers

Project Diabetes: developing new therapies that improve clinical outcomes and the lives of children and young people with Type 1 diabetes.

Project D-Light:  improving the health and well-being of children through better understanding the breadth and magnitude of risks and benefits of sun exposure

Project FASD:  improving prevention, diagnosis and interventions for Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD) in Australia

Project Origins: Reduce non-communicable diseases such as obesity, heart disease, allergies and poor mental health through a healthy start to life
