  • Telethon Kids Institute Has a Strong Track Record in Research, Evaluation and Implementation Related to Improving Child Development Outcomes in the Early Years
    22 May 2016 Commissioners Jonathan Coppel and Julie Abramson National Education Evidence Base Productivity Commission Locked Bag 2, Collins St East PO Melbourne VIC 8003 Dear Commissioners The Telethon Kids Institute has a strong track record in research, evaluation and implementation related to improving child development outcomes in the early years. It was a key partner in the adaption and piloting of the Early Development Index in Australia, and its subsequent national dissemination as the Australian Early Development Census. Through its WA Child Health Survey and the seminal WA Aboriginal Child Health Survey, the Telethon Kids Institute has provided the evidence and recommendations for many child health initiatives. It also has a proud history of advocacy, having lobbied for services through education and health, contributing to the various models of family, child and parent centres and visiting midwife schemes. In addition, the Telethon Kids Institute, in partnership with 14 State government agencies, has set up one of the largest linked data capabilities in Australia, and arguably, the world. This capacity links data from the majority of the health, education and social service agencies in WA, to enable research, monitoring and evaluation of children’s outcomes across a number of domains (i.e. health, education, child maltreatment, mental health, disability, justice and housing). Some data were collected in the 1960s, with the majority collected since 1980 for individuals born in WA. The Telethon Kids Institute has always worked closely with community and service providers to both frame the research approach and translate research findings into policy and practice. This approach is entrenched in the Institute's strategic plan: Working Together 2013-2017 and described in a number of programs in its IMPACT report.

  • Snapgrant™ - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE
    6/20/2019 Development of a new and effective therapy against Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma ™ SnapGrant - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE TELETHON KIDS INSTITUTE Terrance Johns [email protected] 61402490131 Northern Entrance, Perth Children's Hospital, 15 Hospital Avenue, Nedlands Perth, Western Australia 6009 Australia DEVELOPMENT OF A NEW AND EFFECTIVE THERAPY AGAINST DIFFUSE INTRINSIC PONTINE GLIOMA Translational DIPG, Childhood (Brain Cancer) Afliation: Cure Fund Requested Funding: $49,512 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY https://snapgrant.com/grant/view?id=223 1/4 6/20/2019 Development of a new and effective therapy against Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma Background- Cancer currently stands as one of the leading causes of death worldwide, killing nearly 10 million people in 2018. Among the different forms of cancer, those affecting the brain and Central Nervous Systems are among the deadliest and most difcult to treat. According to gures from the World Health Organization, in 2018 over 70% of all patients diagnosed with brain cancer died in the United Stated, and over 80% in Australia. Despite these troubling gures, no signicant improvement in high grade brain cancer treatment has been made over the past 30 years. This situation is worsened by a notable lack of funding for brain cancer research, particular in children. In Australia, for example, the 2017-2018 federal funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) for children brain cancer represented only 0.36% of the total NHMRC research budget for that time period. Among childhood brain cancers, Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is the most difcult to treat: more than 99% of all DIPG patients will die, due to a lack of effective treatments.

  • Menzies School of Health Research
    MENZIES SCHOOL OF HEALTH RESEARCH 2020-21 Pre-Budget Submission September 2020 Contact: Professor Alan Cass Director, Menzies School of Health Research Ph: 08 8946 8600 Email: [email protected] Web: www.menzies.edu.au ABN: 70 413 542 847 Menzies School of Health Research (Menzies) is pleased to put forward its 2020-21 Pre-Budget submission. 1. Summary of recommendations The medical and health research sector has an important role in supporting economic growth, job creation and attracting investment to Australia. This role has been further emphasised in key policy statements from both the Northern Territory and Commonwealth Governments to ensure the future prosperity of northern Australia. For example, medical and health research is a stated economic priority in the Northern Territory Economic Development Framework and its Economic Reconstruction Priorities, as well as being highlighted as a strategic priority in the Commonwealth’s White Paper on Developing Northern Australia. Directly related to supporting medical and health research in northern Australia, this pre-budget submission requests that the Commonwealth provide $5m to support a four (4) year extension to the Northern Australia Tropical Disease Collaborative Research Program (NATDCRP), administered by Menzies School of Health Research in collaboration with seven (7) of Australia’s leading health research organisations – James Cook University, Telethon Kids Institute, Burnet Institute, The University of Sydney, the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute, Doherty Institute and QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute. The NATDCRP – now referred to as the HOT North Program - was announced as a $6.8m budget measure by the Minister for Trade and Investment, the Hon Andrew Robb on 10 May 2015.

  • Minderoo Foundation's $5 Million Donation to Zero
    MINDEROO FOUNDATION’S $5 MILLION DONATION TO ZERO CHILDHOOD CANCER WILL HELP KIDS LIKE JACK BEAT BRAIN CANCER Two years ago, Jack Burai was diagnosed with a low-grade cancer in the brain (glioma) at just 9 years old. Following surgery his prognosis was good and his parents, Vivian and Alex believed Jack to be cured. 12 months later Jack relapsed and was in hospital with multiple tumours in his brain and spine, his cancer failed to respond to standard treatment and his condition was rapidly declining. His eyesight was threatened by the build-up of fluid in his brain and he could no longer walk. Jack was enrolled in the Zero Childhood Cancer program (Zero), which genetically tested Jack’s cancer, and detected a BRAF V600E mutation that was believed to be driving the aggressive growth of his cancer. The team identified new therapies uniquely designed to target and kill his tumours. Within 45 days Jack was out of a wheelchair, playing tennis, and today Jack is back at school and doing well. Today (15 May) Minderoo Foundation’s Eliminate Cancer initiative will announce a $5 million partnership with Zero to help scale the program in Australia, drive further research into personalised medicine in childhood cancer and help established standardised international protocols. Australian philanthropists Andrew and Nicola Forrest founded Minderoo Foundation in 2001 and, since then, have committed over $1.5 billion to the Foundation and its partners to address some of the world’s most urgent and complex challenges, including the fight against cancer which Minderoo has committed $75 million to through its Eliminate Cancer initiative.

  • Survey of Commercial Outcomes from Public Research (Scopr) 2019 Report
    techtransfer.org.au SURVEY OF COMMERCIAL OUTCOMES FROM PUBLIC RESEARCH (SCOPR) 2019 REPORT Survey and report delivered by FOREWORD There is an ever-present imperative to capture the commercial value of our research endeavour for our future wellbeing. To do so strategically, decision makers from laboratory, institutional and government levels need insights into how the research sector is currently engaging with industry to transfer knowledge and innovation, and thereby deliver benefits to our society from the fruits of our research. For many years in Australia there has been a focus on improving innovation metrics, thus I am delighted to acknowledge the initiative of gemaker and Knowledge Commercialisation Australasia (KCA) in producing the inaugural Survey of Commercial Outcomes from Public Research (SCOPR). The SCOPR takes its lead from the National Survey of Research Commercialisation (NSRC) produced since 2000 by the Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources. To avoid duplication, the Department has decided to cease the NSRC and will work with KCA to share knowledge, and access data collected by SCOPR. As we face the COVID-19 pandemic, effective knowledge transfer is more important than ever, so I hope that this report will spur our research institutions to even greater achievements. Realising effective knowledge transfer will depend on having skilled commercialisation professionals who can help researchers turn great ideas into beneficial products and services. I applaud KCA’s support for technology transfer professionals

  • Telethon Kids Institute Researcher and Digital Health Professional Win In
    3 September 2020 Telethon Kids Institute researcher and digital health professional win in 2020 Business Events Perth Aspire Awards Two of Telethon Kids Institute’s best and brightest will attend international conferences, when it is safe to do so, to promote the incredible research and digital health initiatives being undertaken in Western Australia. Autism researcher Dr Gail Alvares and digital health professional Ms Bec Nguyen are the recipients of the Telethon Kids Institute Aspire Award, which is coordinated by Business Events Perth and supported by the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. Business Events Perth’s Aspire Awards sponsor local academics, researchers and health professionals to attend (and often present at) a relevant international conference in their discipline, to further their professional development. Now in its 21st year, the Aspire Awards, has sponsored hundreds of Western Australian academics and researchers to attend conferences. Business Events Perth Chief Executive Officer Gareth Martin said this was the fifth year Business Events Perth and the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre was sponsoring Telethon Kids Institute staff members to attend an international conference. “These awards provide Western Australian paediatric research and development professionals with the opportunity to showcase their work and connect with experts in their field,” Mr Martin said. “Attending business events like international conferences, help experts like Dr Alvares and Ms Nguyen collaborate and exchange knowledge with others in their field and also showcase the expertise of Western Australia on an international stage.” With a research vision to reduce mental health disabilities for children diagnosed on the autism spectrum, Dr Alvares received an Aspire Award for her research in developing an early anxiety intervention program for young children on the autism spectrum, who are at an excessively high risk of developing a mental health condition, particularly depression and anxiety.

  • Australia's Medical Research Community Unites to Champion the Medical Research Future Fund
    AUSTRALIA’S MEDICAL RESEARCH COMMUNITY UNITES TO CHAMPION THE MEDICAL RESEARCH FUTURE FUND Media release Embargoed until September 16, 2014 Western Australia’s three largest medical research institutes have joined other institutes across the nation in support of enhanced public investment in health and medical research through the Medical Research Future Fund. Lions Eye Institute Managing Director Professor David Mackey, Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research Director Professor Peter Leedman and Telethon Kids Institute Director Professor Jonathan Carapetis have backed the establishment of the government’s proposed $20 billion future fund for health and medical research. They join other institute directors and the Medical Research Future Fund Action Group in a national campaign to ensure the proposed Medical Research Future Fund is fully realised. Professor Jonathan Carapetis said the concept of a medical research future fund was visionary and would help the health and medical research sector in Western Australia to continue to grow. He said West Australian institutes in particular were uniquely placed to tackle health issues that impact remote and regional parts of Australia. Professor Peter Leedman said the future fund would be transformative for medical research in Australia and very significant for the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research which focuses on adult diseases including cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular disease. He said that only long term and sustainable investment into medical research, such as the MRFF proposal, would ensure research breakthroughs in WA that can be translated into better health outcomes. Professor David Mackey said: “The “untreatable” diseases of today need to attract and retain our best and brightest minds.
