Until the 1970s, people experiencing infertility had few options. Commencing in the late 1960s, NHMRC-funded researchers at Monash University and other research centres in Melbourne began creating in vitro fertilisation (IVF) technologies and developed them into robust medical procedures that are now used worldwide. These technologies have significantly expanded the options available for those wishing to have a baby and today IVF is responsible for about 1 in 20 births in Australia.
National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is committed to implementing the National Principles for Child Safe Organisations and the Commonwealth Child Safe Framework.
Chronic cough is a common problem in children that impairs quality of life, with a burden often unappreciated by health professionals. Protracted Bacterial Bronchitis (PBB) is the most common cause of chronic cough in children. Untreated, it leads to poor future lung health outcomes such as bronchiectasis.
Ethical conduct in research with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples and communities: Guidelines for researchers and stakeholders provides a set of principles to ensure research is safe, respectful, responsible, high quality and of benefit to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.

The training modules are for peer reviewers to build their knowledge on NHMRC's disclosure of interest and suitability declaration processes. Sound understanding of these processes reduces peer reviewers' workload and contributes to the rigour and integrity of NHMRC's peer review system.
In 2021, an average of 23 people died of stroke each day in Australia, making stroke one of the leading causes of death.1 Acute post-stroke symptoms contribute to this mortality, causing loss of life and independence. A team of NHMRC-funded researchers designed cost-effective and easy to implement protocols for the monitoring and treatment of patients in the 72 hours following a stroke. Implementation of these protocols has led to improvements in survival and health outcomes. They have been adopted into hospitals throughout Australia and in at least 18 countries across the world.
While progress has been made globally in reducing the impact of tuberculosis (TB), and while Australia has achieved a TB rate among the lowest reported, the South-East Asian region remains a global TB ‘hot spot’. Australia is well placed to help countries in our region deal with TB as we have world-class domestic systems for disease surveillance and control in human and animal health, and a strong track record of cooperation with countries in the region, including on primary health care. Research by a number of Australian research institutions has contributed to regional improvements to TB detection, prevention and treatment, and has demonstrated the possibility of the rapid reduction in TB prevalence within neighbouring countries.
Knowledge gained through research underpins improvements in Australia's health and medical services. This research can be fundamental or can be applied, directly addressing clinical problems, public policy, quality of life and environmental health issues or the provision of health services.
Road Map 3 is a comprehensive 10-year strategic framework to improve the health of Australia's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population.
Ensuring the highest quality and value of NHMRC-funded research is a priority for NHMRC. NHMRC’s Research Quality Strategy outlines the key areas NHMRC will focus on to provide guidance and support for good research practices throughout the research cycle.
The Principles are high-level, guiding statements, that underpin NHMRC's peer review processes and will apply to all NHMRC funding schemes.
Professor Yvonne Cadet-James, the pioneering researcher, academic, mentor, registered nurse and midwife is celebrating a 25-year legacy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research at the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC).
