Supporting Research

AAPEC is proud to actively support research across all aspects of preeclampsia, recognising that high-quality research is essential to improving prevention, early detection, treatment, and long-term outcomes for women and their families. Over recent years, AAPEC has partnered with and supported a range of research projects that advance understanding of preeclampsia amplify women’s voices and help translate evidence into better clinical care.

Examples of how AAPEC has worked with researchers:

  • AAPEC has promoted research projects through its social media platforms to assist researchers in connecting with women interested in participating in studies
  • AAPEC has facilitated the involvement of women with lived experience of preeclampsia on research steering committees, contributing to study design and providing feedback on participant information and study documents
  • AAPEC has provided letters of support for research grant applications
  • Members of the AAPEC Committee have participated as investigators on research grant applications

Successful grant applications include:

  • NHMRC Ideas Grant Funding (2024); Getting to the Heart of the Matter: A Novel “Omics” Risk Score for CVD Risk Assessment in Women Following Preeclampsia
  • NHMRC Ideas Grant Funding (2024): A mother’s risk of future cardiovascular disease following preeclampsia: is early detection and prevention possible?
