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.
