The CRCSI Health Program has established research activities in Australia and New Zealand and plans to take a lead role in developing research activities with international partners. In support of their expected growth, and to ensure that the science objectives of the program are being appropriately addressed, the Health Program Board has appointed Dr. Jacquez to a 2-year term as Co-Science Director of the CRCSI Health Program.

The CRCSI program is an Australian Government initiative to bring together researchers from universities, and other government organisations, and private industry or public sector agencies in long-term collaborative arrangements that support research and development and education activities to achieve real outcomes of national economic and social significance.
