Listen to our webinar: Principles of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research and engaging meaningfully with community

The MTPConnect Podcast

MTPConnect’s Targeted Translation Research Accelerator (TTRA) program will open Round 3 of its Research Projects funding opportunity in early 2023 to support diabetes and cardiovascular disease projects that address the unmet health and medical needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in rural, remote, regional, and urban centres.

In anticipation of the round, MTPConnect hosted a webinar to highlight key elements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research to consider when building research projects and teams.

You will hear from three leading Indigenous researchers, all dedicated to ensuring that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health research is conducted by community, for community with a long-lasting impact on health and wellbeing, including Professor Alex Brown, Professor of Indigenous Genomics, The Australian National University and Telethon Kids Institute, Dr Michelle Kennedy, Executive Manager of Research and Knowledge Translation, Lowitja Institute, and Ray Kelly, Accredited Exercise Physiologist/Researcher and creator of ‘Too Deadly for Diabetes’.
