This research will yield results that are at the cutting-edge in evolutionary biology, that will have a significant international impact, promoting the international profile of Australian science. The award will foster a world-class centre for research, and will train internationally competitive research scientists, adding to Australia's scientific capabilities. Through the development of IVF techniques in frogs, the research has the potential to contribute to conservation outcomes for Australia's native frog fauna via captive breeding programs. The research groups connections with local infertility clinics has the potential to inform those studying human sperm in a time of growing concern over rising human infertility.

这项研究将产生进化生物学前沿的成果，这将产生重大的国际影响，促进澳大利亚科学的国际形象。 该奖项将培养一个世界级的研究中心，并将培养具有国际竞争力的研究科学家，提高澳大利亚的科学能力。通过青蛙体外受精技术的发展，该研究有可能通过圈养繁殖计划为澳大利亚本土青蛙动物群的保护成果做出贡献。 研究小组与当地不孕症诊所的联系有可能在人们越来越关注人类不孕症的时候为那些研究人类精子的人提供信息。
