RESEARCH in Newcastle will receive a boost, with $17.6 million promised for projects including improving access to stroke rehabilitation, preventing young people from using e-cigarettes, care for asthma and dementia sufferers, and helping Aboriginal women become smoke free during pregnancy.
The grants, announced this week as part of the Australian government's Medical Research Future Fund, will support researchers from the University of Newcastle, Hunter Medical Research Institute and Hunter New England Local Health District in 10 new projects, the university said.
