Question

1. How much was given out for Aboriginal Health grants - I believe the scheme is called ATSIH but other Aboriginal related grants and how much did Prof Langdon get paid for her role as Chief Investigator? A grading and salary for that grading is acceptable. 2. I note some grants do not relate to Australian research, such as this one: Strengthening Integrated Care Pathways to Improve Chronic Disease Outcomes in Primary Healthcare Systems in Africa. Cost: $1.67m. How much have you spent over the last 3 years on grants which do not relate to domestic research? Please itemise. 3. 1.6m for Monash University for a study titled Guiding and delivering maternity healthcare that is free of weight stigma. I thought the medical profession was supposed to encourage Australians to maintain a healthy weight - the use of the word stigma suggests this is changing the messaging to acceptance of unhealthy weight. Please clarify the intention of this grant.

Answer

Please see attached answer.
