News:
This week marks the 145th patient recruited to the KIDS THRIVE Trial which is a tribute to everyone’s hard work and dedication to this project. The KIDS THRIVE team have also submitted NHMRC application and have been successful in completing the first phase of the Thrasher Research Fund process for further funding of this important work.
We now have a KIDS THRIVE web page hosted on the Children’s Health Queensland site. It gives both parents and sites some general information about the study and to show case the amazing work we are doing. You can also keep up to date with the KIDS THRIVE project on Twitter @KIDSTHRIVE.
The KIDS THRIVE study team would like to take this opportunity to thank all sites for their enormous effort over the last few months.
