We are thrilled to share that Associate Professor Ivan Lin and the Staying Strong with Arthritis collaborative team are a finalist in the Aspire Scholarship Australian Museum Eureka Prizes for Excellence in Interdisciplinary Scientific Research awards.
Staying Strong with Arthritis co-created the first clinically and culturally informed arthritis education resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
Aboriginal and non-Indigenous clinician-researchers worked in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, health services and artists to co-design a website, brochures and videos that promote living well with arthritis.

The project is led by Dr Brooke Conley, a Ngiyampaa woman based at the University of Melbourne who led the project as part of her own PhD work.
