Congratulations to Dr Lisa Walter for obtaining an Australian and New Zealand Children’s Haematology/Oncology Group (ANZCHOG) funding
Dr Lisa Walter has been awarded funding to organize an Australian and New Zealand Children’s Haematology/Oncology Group (ANZCHOG) Concept Development Workshop for her study on sleep in children with cancer. Her project "Bright light therapy to improve sleep, reduce fatigue and improve the quality of life in children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia during maintenance treatment" will be the focus of a workshop which will provide an opportunity for interstate collaborators to meet, discuss and develop the concept, commence project planning/protocol development and establish roles and responsibilities.
Lisa was also successful in obtaining a travel grant to attend the ANZCHOG conference next June in Cairns to present the preliminary findings of her study.

Congratulations A/Prof Gillian Nixon and Prof Rosemary Horne for obtaining Jack Brockhoff Foundation funding
A/Prof Gillian Nixon and Prof Rosemary Horne were successful in obtaining funding of $30,000 for their project "Optimising daytime functioning in children with Down Syndrome through the early identification of Obstructive Sleep Apnoea" from the Jack Brockhoff Foundation.

| A/Prof Gillian Nixon |
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is extremely common in children with Down Syndrome, but the condition is not normally investigated or treated as part of clinical care. OSA can have a significant impact on the learning, behaviour, cardiovascular system and quality of life of developing children, but its effects are yet to be studied in children with Down Syndrome.
Are you interested in taking on the challenge of a PhD?
In 2016, the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics is offering Top Up scholarships for students who are successful in
obtaining either an APA or equivalent scholarship for their Phd studies. The Top Up’s are
worth $8000 per year and are tax free stipends. Please see project details below:
The global relevance of basic anthropometric and food intake measures for nutrition
screening in a rapidly industrialized society: from under to over nutrition in Chinese
children
Supervisors: Prof Helen Truby and Dr Catherine Huggins
Email: helen.truby@monash.edu
Nearly all large epidemiological studies rely on interpretation of basic anthropometric
measures (weight, height and waist circumferences) as determinants of growth during
childhood. In China today both under and over nutrition co-exist on a scale that is
unprecedented. The rapid industrialisation in China has generated an equally rapid change
in the food supply in both quantity and variety. Food intake obviously impacts on growth
and this project will examine the relationship between food patterns, physical activity and
growth over time in early childhood. These project goals will be realized by secondary data
analysis of several large Chinese birth cohorts (50,000 – 100,000 subjects). It will be
undertaken in collaboration with leading researchers in China. Applicants should have a
particular interest and confidence in working with large datasets. This PhD will enable skill
development in nutritional epidemiology. Opportunities to spend some periods of time in
China exist within this project.
Alcohol: The forgotten component of energy intake
Supervisors: Prof Helen Truby
Email: helen.truby@monash.edu
Consumption of alcoholic beverages has a unique place in Australia, but with the rise in
obesity, the contribution of alcohol to energy intake is under greater scrutiny. Alcohol
contributes more energy per gram than protein and carbohydrate. As such alcohol attains
public health importance solely as a discretionary energy source with low micro-nutrient
value. Consumption of alcoholic beverages has a short term stimulatory effect on appetite
and desire to eat. These physiological processes combined with the food supplied in social
situations, which are often high fat snack foods, contribute to passive over consumption of
energy per se. This project seeks to develop and test food (snack) solutions to reduce the
energy availability and increase energy utilization of snacks by altering macronutrient
composition. It will test their effectiveness when consumed with alcohol in controlled trials.
The long term outcome will be increasing the evidence base for
guidelines around which foods can be served with alcoholic
beverages that optimize energy utilization and reduce the
stimulatory effect on appetite.
Applications are now open for 2016 Faculty Bridging Postdoctoral Fellowships (Round 1)
These Fellowships provide competitive funding to support the career development of promising newly-qualified postdoctoral researchers at Monash University. They are intended to provide initial support while applications are prepared for externally funded fellowships such as NHMRC Training Fellowships, ARC Postdoctoral Fellowships, etc.
Applications should be made by the intended Fellow's mentor at Monash University. Mentors would normally be the Fellow's line manager and therefore the mentor must be a member of staff. Adjuncts are not eligible to supervise Monash staff.
The Faculty may award up to 4 Fellowships in each round. Competition is therefore at a high level and mentors should carefully consider candidates before nominating them.
Closing Date: Monday 16 November 2015 at 5:00PM (AEDT)
Submission Process: Submit the completed and signed application form (and supporting material) as a single PDF document to medicine.research@
