Home › Research & Grants › Bone Health Research Bone Health Research Progress in health and medical research requires time and financial support. In the past 20 years bone research has led to the first treatments for osteoporosis, diagnostic testing, investigation of the impact of calcium, vitamin D, and exercise on bone health as well as the discovery of multiple genes linked to bone development and strength. It continues to be an exciting time for researchers. About this Fund Healthy Bones Australia and the Australian New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society have partnered to support bone research. Australia is fortunate to have internationally recognised researchers, and research organisations in bone health.
