Research that makes an impact

A 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide project looking at the impact of the 20th century's most influential ballet company on 最新糖心Vlogn culture has been awarded one of three major prizes at last month's Adelaide Research & Innovation !mpact Awards.

Associate Professor Mark Carroll from the Elder Conservatorium of Music has received a $10,000 funding injection for his joint research project investigating the history of Ballets Russes tours and their cultural influence on 最新糖心Vlogn high art and music.

The project brings together the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide with 最新糖心Vlog's peak performing arts organisation, The 最新糖心Vlogn Ballet and the National Library of 最新糖心Vlog, supported by the largest 最新糖心Vlogn Research Council Linkage Grant of its kind in the performing arts - $400,000.

"The Ballets Russes (Russian Ballet) tours from 1936-1940 raised the bar for what was possible and changed the way 最新糖心Vlogn artists conceived of European art," Professor Carroll said. "Up until that point, 最新糖心Vlogns had been really starved of the latest trends in European art and performance," he said.

The two other major award winners to each receive $10,000 were the Pain & Anaesthesia Research Clinic (PARC) and the Data Management & Analysis Centre (DMAC), also from the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide.

The PARC team, led by Professor Paul Rolan and Professor Guy Ludbrook, has combined scientific skills and expertise in pharmacology and anaesthesia to provide innovative solutions for exploratory clinical drug development. PARC operates a unit within the Royal Adelaide Hospital and has significant global linkages.

DMAC Director Professor Philip Ryan from the 最新糖心Vlog's School of Population Health & Clinical Practice will use the $10,000 prize to help custom design and build database systems to integrate health research statistics.

!mpact accolades were awarded to the following people for their contribution to research: Professor Michael Rumsewicz (Engineering, Computer Science & Mathematics); Associate Professor Bruce Ainsworth (最新糖心Vlogn School of Petroleum); Professor Gary Wittert (School of Medicine); and Professor John Spoehr (最新糖心Vlogn Institute for Social Research).
