Large-scale epidemiology, chronic disease and disadvantaged populations: evidence and translation

Principal Research Fellowship (PRF) (Reapplication with Promotion from SRF B) - This PRF application is to conduct cutting-edge innovative large-scale research on chronic disease, variation in health and healthcare and disadvantaged populations. It aims to generate reliable large-scale quantitative evidence on targets for intervention, in partnership with policymakers and practitioners, and to inform implementation of findings to improve health and healthcare ultimately supporting big data as business as usual. It uses a systems- and team-based approach to conducting large-scale research, maximising its quality, effectiveness,efficiency and reach, focusing on four major programs of work: (i) Indigenous health; (ii) variation in health and healthcare; (iii) chronic disease and pharmaco-epidemiology; and (iv) humanitarian health.
