The Synergy Grant is a 5-year NHMRC project that aims to improve the lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians through achieving equity in cancer screening programs participation.
The project will partner with First Nations people, communities and organisations across Queensland to gain place-based knowledge and identify specific local level factors that influence participation/nonparticipation in cancer screening for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Queenslanders and identify solutions to inform the co-design of preference-based interventions.
Miyil-Janay Yundu (Looking After Yourself) is a 5-year project that aims to improve the lives of First Nations peoples through supporting participating in cancer screening.
The Miyil-Janay Yundu Project team at the University of Queensland, led by Kamilaroi researcher Prof. Gail Garvey, will work in partnership with First Nations communities and services that support them to co-design local strategies to achieving equity in cancer screening.
We will support community-driven design and delivery of initiatives that enable First Nations people to participate in cancer screening.
