Funding

Who is funding the research?

Support for the NSW-CDS is provided from multiple sources, each contributing to different parts of the study. This longitudinal study (including Record Linkage Waves 1 and 2, and the Middle Childhood Survey) was established with Commonwealth Government funding  provided by an Australian Research Council Linkage Project Grant, and a National Health and Medical Research Council Project Grant, with additional funding from an Australian Rotary Health Research Grant, an Australian Institute of Criminology Research Grant, and financial and/or in-kind support from the NSW Department of Education, Ministry of Health, and Department of Communities and Justice.

Current Commonwealth government funding is provided by an Australian Research Council Discovery Project Grant, National Health and Medical Research Council Project Grant and National Health and Medical Research Council Partnership Grant with the NSW Department of Communities and Justice as an industry partner providing financial and in-kind support, and additional funding from an Australian Rotary Health Research Grant and an Lowitja Institute Grant.

Developmental schizotypy in the general population: Early risk factors and predictive utility

NHMRC Project Grant (Lead, Professor Melissa Green)

In this project we are determining the utility of schizotypal risk profiles in middle childhood (age 11 years), expressed in perceptual, cognitive, personality, and behavioural functioning, in 22,120 children from the NSW-CDS, and examine their potential role as mediators of the pathway from age-5 developmental vulnerability to schizophrenia spectrum or other mental disorders emerging in early adolescence (age 12-15 years). Using data from Waves 2 and 3 of the NSW-CDS Record Linkages, successful completion of the project will have major clinical significance by informing the detection of risk and potential delivery of preventative interventions for severe mental illness.
