The Foundation has been supporting research into asthma for over 45 years and has played a major role in helping to develop one of the world�s leading asthma research communities to help find a cure for asthma, improve asthma treatment and provide better asthma management techniques. Research expenditure over these years is in excess of $3.2 million, with $800,000 being distributed in the last three years. The program has produced results that have contributed to the overall understanding of asthma in medical and lay circles throughout the world. A fine example of this is the �Doubling daily inhaled corticosteroid dose is ineffective in mild to moderately severe attacks of asthma in adults� research project headed by Dr Glenn Rice-McDonald. The findings of this project have led to changes globally. The Foundation takes pride in its history of achievement in asthma research and we acknowledge the efforts of our dedicated researchers.
