Current Funding

Current and recent Research Funding to JCU is shown by funding source and project.

Tropical Australian Academic Health Centre Limited - Research Seed Grants

Immersive virtual reality in a northern Queensland haemodialysis unit: A cross-over randomised controlled feasibility trial.

Indicative Funding: $18,000 over 2 years (administered by THHS)
Summary: This study will explore the feasibility and acceptability of an immersive VR experience for patients attending a north Queensland haemodialysis service and provide information to inform a multi-centre randomised controlled trial. Over the 4 week intervention period, participants will be offered a headset with vision of the local natural environment and with audio. Outcomes will be measured by participants: acceptability and usability of VR; attendance at scheduled dialysis sessions and adherence to lifestyle modifications; wellbeing, anxiety and depression; adverse events such as nausea. The feasibility and acceptability of the equipment from the clinicians? perspectives will also be explored.

Fisheries Research & Development Corporation - Annual Competitive Round

Application of a machine learning approach for effective stock management of abalone

Indicative Funding: $115,649 over 2 years
Summary: Determining the number and size distribution of abalone present at various stages of production is critical information for effective stock management. Currently the Australian abalone aquaculture industry spends in the order of $25,000 per annum, per farm, gathering this information by hand. However, the resulting data is of mediocre quality, is limited in its scope, and collecting the data causes stress to the animals which can compromise growth and survival. Automated counting and measuring of abalone will increase farm efficiency and productivity in the short term and, in the longer term, will provide an advanced platform for further R&D improvements. Artificial intelligence and machine learning has now matured to a point that accurately counting and measuring abalone is possible using this approach. This project would involve the development, training and validation of a machine learning model to identify, segment and measure quantitative abalone traits in production systems, and render the product data to be accessible and applicable for farmers.

World Wide Fund for Nature (US) - Contract Research

From Coastal Communities to Cloud Communities ? New Application and Artificial Intelligence to Monitor Fish Stocks Using Photos ? Application Development

Indicative Funding: $53,100 over 1 year
Summary: The Project aims at develop an artificial intelligence capable to autonomously identify fish species and number from images collected at fish markets in remote location, so that effective catch rate can be evaluated and management policies can be developed.
