The Targeted Call for Research (TCR): Oral Health Care in Australia 2024 grant opportunity aims to fund research into better understanding the apparent gap in the translation and implementation of effective population-level oral health (including health services) interventions. Oral health needs to be considered as an integral part of general health and embedded in the primary care setting. The design and implementation of interventions and policy changes based on this research would reduce overall health system demands and costs in the long-term.

Worldwide, preterm birth (birth before 37 weeks) is the single largest cause of death in the newborn period and early childhood.1 In Australia each year, around 8% of babies (almost 26,000 in 2019)2 are born prematurely. A wide variety of health issues are associated with pre-term birth, including developmental delay, cerebral palsy, hearing and visual impairments, learning difficulties and psychiatric disorders. NHMRC-funded researchers at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI) and other Adelaide-based institutions have made major contributions to reducing the prevalence of premature births and improving the health of premature babies.
