PASSPORT grant commencement confirmed
The PASSPORT team is pleased to announce that the grant start date for our successful Medical Research Future Fund (MRFF) National Critical Trial Infrastructure Grant (MRFITI000012) is 1 January 2026.
This milestone marks the formal commencement of a major national investment in critical trial infrastructure to support the PASSPORT Platform and its mission to improve outcomes for children with sepsis through high-quality, collaborative research.
We would like to sincerely thank the Chief Investigators whose expertise, leadership and commitment were instrumental in the development of this successful application:
Prof Franz Babl, A/Prof Shane George, Prof Katherine Lee, Prof Andrew Davidson, Dr Kate Rawnsley, Prof Chris Blyth, Prof Meredith Borland, Prof Stuart Dalziel, Prof Simon Craig, Dr Sarah McNab, Prof Kim Dalziel, A/Prof Emma Tavender, Dr Adriana Yock-Corrales, and Prof Andrew Steer.
Their collective contribution reflects the strength of Australia’s paediatric critical care and research community and the shared commitment to advancing evidence-based care for children with sepsis.
We look forward to working together as the PASSPORT Platform enters this next phase.
