The Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine (AITHM), formerly the Australian Institute of Tropical Medicine is a tropical health and medical research institute based at James Cook University (JCU) in Townsville and Cairns, Queensland. AITHM was established at JCU in 2008. AITHM's focus is on the health problems of most importance to tropical Australia and the tropics worldwide, particularly within Australia’s geographical region. This focus is reflective of JCU's strategic commitment to 'Creating a brighter future for life in the tropics worldwide through graduates and discoveries that make a difference'.〔(James Cook University Statement of Strategic Intent )〕 The current Director of AITHM is Professor Louis Schofield. ==Overview== AITHM aims to contribute to better health for people in the tropics by developing new prevention, diagnosis and treatment options for diseases that are of importance in the tropical world. This is achieved through biomedical, molecular, genomic, epidemiological, entomological and health systems research that is undertaken within an integrated public health framework. Through its research and innovation, and in partnership with key organisations, AITHM aims to bridge the gap between cutting edge research, disease control methodology and scientific expertise; and health service, workforce and policy delivery relevant to tropical populations. In early 2012, AITHM received a commitment of $42.12 million from the Queensland Government to build essential infrastructure and bolster key research projects.〔Helbig, Koren, ('LNP leader Campbell Newman promises $42 million to create the Australian Institute of Tropical Health and Medicine in conjunction with James Cook University' ), ''The Courier-Mail'', Brisbane, 22 February 2012. Retrieved on 27 October 2012〕 This funding is expected to significantly enhance AITHM’s capacity to underpin Australia’s health security and biosecurity strategies with effective research. The funding is also intended to enhance research to improve health in rural, remote and tropical Australia, in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations, and across the tropics regionally and globally.
