Overview
The Australian Centre for Research into Injury in Sport and its Prevention (ACRISP) team has a new home within Edith Cowan University’s Exercise Medicine Research Institute.
The ACRISP and EMRI researchers are already working together on several new projects that capitalise on the strengths and expertise from both teams including injury and health surveillance, bone health, women’s sport and preventive medicine.
To discuss potential for collaboration, please contact acrisp@ecu.edu.au.
