Building the capabilities of mid-level health service managers in leading and supporting the health workforce (Old ID 30050)
Zhanming Liang
04 Jan 2024 - 03 Jan 2026
Building the capabilities of and empowering hospital mid-level managers in fulfilling their management responsibilities can improve quality care provision, maximise service efficiency and improve retention. Via an evidence-based process, the project will capture the strengths and identify weaknesses of mid-level managers and confirm factors that affect building such capabilities. The project will guide partner organisations in developing mechanism to tackle isolation and lack of support experienced by mid-level managers from widely- spread regional and rural locations, ultimate improving retention and resulting in better leadership to manage and support care managers and staff.
BeefVantage: AI-Powered Beef Agriculture Solution Hub (Old ID 31108)
Carrie Wilson
01 Sep 2023 - 29 Nov 2024
The project is to develop a language-based AI-powered tool that will rapidly guide beef producers to relevant solutions to solve their on-farm problems. The BeefVantage interface efficiently connects farmers and their advisors to relevant solutions, swiftly navigating them through on-farm challenges for enhanced productivity and sustainable outcomes. First, by analysing domain-specific data, we aim to create a dataset that is pre-processed. This dataset will be used to fine-tune a Large Language Model, so that farmers and their advisors can enter queries (such as problems or challenges that they are facing), and the system will recommend solutions (such as AgTech products or relevant knowledge) for their consideration. The AI MVP will create value by revealing insights from existing data that have previously been missed, and help facilitate conversations between extension agents and producers, and ultimately provide a platform for beef producers to rapidly find solutions that are relevant to their situation and needs. Additionally, this system will help provide consistency in information provided by different extension officers/bodies, as it can be confusing for farmers when they receive differing advice from different advisors.
SENSOR-Q: Sensor data solutions (Old ID 21566)
Ian Atkinson
14 Nov 2014 - 14 Mar 2017
The SENSOR-Q project brings together world leading technology from industry and academia - data management and analytics expertise from CoastalCOMS (CCOMS), telemetry solutions from Taggle Systems and sensor expertise from James Cook University (JCU), in order to develop a unique end-to-end water monitoring, analysis and management solution for Townsville City Council (TCC). The SENSOR-Q project combines a multi disciplinary collaborative team that aims to create an integrated data collection, storage, analysis and visualisation platform that can be implemented across a variety of applications and industry sectors, and so enable Queensland to more effectively participate in the big data economy.
Marine Science Data Services (Old ID 22126)
Ian Atkinson
01 May 2015 - 31 Mar 2017
The objectives of the RDS project are to mature sustainable data services that deliver research outcomes and impact by: Refocusing of RDSI Infrastructure into Data as a Service in support of research communities with petascale data challenges. Secondly consolidating the linkages and alignments, where appropriate, with other Commonwealth-funded (NCRIS and Super Science) e-infrastructure investments.
Townsville Tourism Growth Initiative (Old ID 26634)
Laurie Murphy
16 Sep 2019 - 31 Jul 2022
The aim of the Townsville Regional Visitor Survey would be to form a cooperative of regional tourism business to build a research tool that provides local tourism businesses and destination stakeholders with access to data on the profiles, preferences and satisfaction of visitors to the Townsville region. It would also provide specific information on the performance of tourism products and industry sectors within visitor markets. This localised information would be specific to the needs of Townsville businesses and would supplement the data collected through International Visitor Surveys/National Visitor Surveys from Tourism Research Australia.
Project 2.5: Evaluation of recreational fishing behaviour, use, values and motivations that relate to compliance. (Old ID 27771)
Tracey Mahony
01 Jul 2022 - 31 Dec 2023
This project aims to inform the use of behavioural change interventions to support compliance of recreational fishers and boaters with regulations. It will deliver proof of concept tailoring of behaviour change to inform the practical design of interventions in case studies for further refinement, implementation and evaluation in subsequent research plans. The project will focus on recreational fishers and boaters in 2-3 case study locations, including the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and within the newly designated Australian Marine Parks of Two Rocks Marine Park and Jurien Marine Park.
Tourism Knowledge Cluster (Old ID 22892)
Laurie Murphy
01 Sep 2016 - 30 Sep 2017
The aim of the Knowledge Cluster is to form a co-operative data collection and sharing network comprised of stakeholders in the region, including a range of tourism operators working in partnership with the College of Business, Law and Governance at James Co o k University and facilitated by Townsville Enterprise (TEL) as a key agent for knowledge transfer and dissemination to its members. The prime focus of the network will be the development and implementation of an online visitor survey which will provide destination stakeholders with real-time access to data on the profile, preferences and satisfaction of visitors to the region. In addition, market intelligence reports which provide data insights will be disseminated by TEL via its membership base, and two tourism futures workshops - which present detailed data analysis and expert knowledge of JCU tourism academics on global tourism trends - will ensure that the visitor data collected is transferred into knowledge which can facilitate tourism product innovation in the region.
Connected urban tropics project (Old ID 22840)
Ian Atkinson
21 Jun 2016 - 30 Jun 2017
City wide data can be utilised to better understand what is happening in the region and to better manage scarce resources. For example, city-wide data, such as energy and water, are generated by numerous parties and could provide patterns of utilisation to the Cairns and Townsville City Councils to manage local uses in city planning. Connecting and integrating distributed data from research, public and private sector agencies would empower better investment decisions for sustainable development in urban centres.
Terrestrial Systems Research Data Services (Old ID 22125)

How does the “stand-back” requirement improve risk assessment? The use of root cause analysis (Old ID 30042)
Skye Zhu
01 Jul 2023 - 30 Nov 2024
The “stand-back” requirement is a newly added provision found in global audit standards such as Australian auditing standard ASA 220 (Revised), ISA (UK) 240 and international auditing standard ISA 315 (Revised) (FRC 2022; IAASB 2019; AUASB 2021a; AUASB 2021b). The standards require an auditor to reconsider and re-evaluate whether all significant transactions, balances and disclosures have been identified once the risk assessment has been completed (AICPA 2020; KPMG 2020). We experimentally investigate whether the presence of “stand-back” requirement and the types of learning examples in root cause analysis can jointly influence auditors’ fraud risk assessment decisions.
