The NHMRC has been instrumental in several significant epidemiological findings and public health advancements, such as:
- Tobacco Control: Research funded by NHMRC has contributed to understanding the health impacts of smoking and the development of effective tobacco control policies. - Vaccination Programs: NHMRC-supported studies have provided critical data for the implementation and success of vaccination programs in Australia. - Obesity and Physical Activity: Research into the epidemiology of obesity and physical activity has informed public health interventions and policies aimed at reducing obesity rates.
