Question 1

The Enhancing Women’s Recovery after Cancer Treatment Program (RECENTRE): A values-based implementation and evaluation | Griffith University

Accepted Answer


University:	Griffith University
Faculty:	Griffith Health
Project Start Date:	26.02.2025
Application Deadline:	11.10.2024 (students interested in this or similar topics can contact the supervisor even after the deadline)
Supervisor Name:	Dr Sarah Balaam, Email: s.balaam@griffith.edu.au
Location (City/Campus):	Gold Coast Campus
Project Description:	Our research team under the supervision and guidance of the Dean of Research (Health), Prof Sandie McCarthy, has a strong focus on development and delivery of multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions within cancer populations. As part of our team, you will benefit from high quality training in the above areas to support a transition to independent research. RECENTRE is an NHMRC-funded project undertaken in partnership with Mater Foundation and Mater Health Queensland. The collaborative research team is interdisciplinary (exercise science, nutrition, nursing, public health, statistics, health economics, psychology, implementation science) and spans several institutions including universities and hospital settings. This is an implementation study of a lifestyle intervention focussed on women after treatment for breast and gynaecological cancer. Women with female-specific cancers can now survive decades after diagnosis, however there is little support after treatment despite their risk of physical and psychosocial complications. Previous studies from members of this research team demonstrate that our Women’s Wellness after Cancer Program (WWACP) improves quality of life and reduces treatment-related chronic disease risks in these women through targeted lifestyle management. As part of this study, the WWACP will be digitalised and rebranded as “RECENTRE: The Enhancing Women’s Recovery after Cancer Treatment Program” for tertiary prevention of chronic disease in women treated for breast and gynaecological cancer regardless of their cancer stage. The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate RECENTRE as standard practice after treatment, Queensland-wide, across Mater Health facilities. We seek a PhD candidate to contribute to research on this study. There are a variety of opportunities to design an innovative research project that enhances and fits within the parameters of RECENTRE. Success in this role requires collaboration with the immediate research team and a broader interdisciplinary team across universities and hospital settings.

Hyperspectral Imagery and Deep Learning for Greenhouse Gas Monitoring | Griffith University

Accepted Answer


University:	Griffith University
Faculty:	Griffith Health
Project Start Date:	26.02.2025
Application Deadline:	11.10.2024 (students interested in this or similar topics can contact the supervisor even after the deadline)
Supervisor Name:	Dr Sarah Balaam, Email: s.balaam@griffith.edu.au
Location (City/Campus):	Gold Coast Campus
Project Description:	Our research team under the supervision and guidance of the Dean of Research (Health), Prof Sandie McCarthy, has a strong focus on development and delivery of multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions within cancer populations. As part of our team, you will benefit from high quality training in the above areas to support a transition to independent research. RECENTRE is an NHMRC-funded project undertaken in partnership with Mater Foundation and Mater Health Queensland. The collaborative research team is interdisciplinary (exercise science, nutrition, nursing, public health, statistics, health economics, psychology, implementation science) and spans several institutions including universities and hospital settings. This is an implementation study of a lifestyle intervention focussed on women after treatment for breast and gynaecological cancer. Women with female-specific cancers can now survive decades after diagnosis, however there is little support after treatment despite their risk of physical and psychosocial complications. Previous studies from members of this research team demonstrate that our Women’s Wellness after Cancer Program (WWACP) improves quality of life and reduces treatment-related chronic disease risks in these women through targeted lifestyle management. As part of this study, the WWACP will be digitalised and rebranded as “RECENTRE: The Enhancing Women’s Recovery after Cancer Treatment Program” for tertiary prevention of chronic disease in women treated for breast and gynaecological cancer regardless of their cancer stage. The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate RECENTRE as standard practice after treatment, Queensland-wide, across Mater Health facilities. We seek a PhD candidate to contribute to research on this study. There are a variety of opportunities to design an innovative research project that enhances and fits within the parameters of RECENTRE. Success in this role requires collaboration with the immediate research team and a broader interdisciplinary team across universities and hospital settings.

Project Description:	Our research team under the supervision and guidance of the Dean of Research (Health), Prof Sandie McCarthy, has a strong focus on development and delivery of multidisciplinary lifestyle interventions within cancer populations. As part of our team, you will benefit from high quality training in the above areas to support a transition to independent research. RECENTRE is an NHMRC-funded project undertaken in partnership with Mater Foundation and Mater Health Queensland. The collaborative research team is interdisciplinary (exercise science, nutrition, nursing, public health, statistics, health economics, psychology, implementation science) and spans several institutions including universities and hospital settings. This is an implementation study of a lifestyle intervention focussed on women after treatment for breast and gynaecological cancer. Women with female-specific cancers can now survive decades after diagnosis, however there is little support after treatment despite their risk of physical and psychosocial complications. Previous studies from members of this research team demonstrate that our Women’s Wellness after Cancer Program (WWACP) improves quality of life and reduces treatment-related chronic disease risks in these women through targeted lifestyle management. As part of this study, the WWACP will be digitalised and rebranded as “RECENTRE: The Enhancing Women’s Recovery after Cancer Treatment Program” for tertiary prevention of chronic disease in women treated for breast and gynaecological cancer regardless of their cancer stage. The purpose of this study is to implement and evaluate RECENTRE as standard practice after treatment, Queensland-wide, across Mater Health facilities. We seek a PhD candidate to contribute to research on this study. There are a variety of opportunities to design an innovative research project that enhances and fits within the parameters of RECENTRE. Success in this role requires collaboration with the immediate research team and a broader interdisciplinary team across universities and hospital settings.
