NHMRC funding will help address ‘an intergenerational epidemic’ among Indigenous families
A health research institute at Charles Darwin University in the Northern Territory has received a $2.6 million federal grant to treat and prevent type 2 diabetes among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children.
Louise Maple-Brown, an endocrinologist with the Menzies school of health research at the university’s Darwin campus, will lead a partnership of researchers, health services and policy analysts across Australia that will aim to improve diabetes treatment for Indigenous communities.
