NHMRC opened a Targeted Call for Research (TCR) into Wind Farms and Human Health on 24 March 2015 and closed for applications on 6 May 2015.
In funding research under this TCR, NHMRC intended to stimulate the research required to build a robust body of evidence to establish whether there are direct adverse health effects from exposure to wind turbine emissions.
The aim of this TCR was to support the development of an evidence-based understanding of the effect of wind farms on human health. The funded research contributed to a better understanding of the effects on human health from exposure to wind turbine emissions. The funding can assist in the development of policy and public health recommendations regarding wind turbine development and operations in Australia.
Further information on wind farms and human health is available on our Wind farms webpage.
