An investigator on projects securing over $2.7 million in grants from the NHMRC, MRFF, HCF Research Foundation, NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation (NSW ACI), and Sydney Partnership for Health, Education, Research, Enterprise (SPHERE). Ongoing research leadership includes role as co-lead for the HITH4Hips trial of early supported discharge at home, which received the SWSLHD Health Research Quality Award 2025, and several related papers under review/published, all supporting early career researchers. Currently co-leading RITH4Hips, a trial of rehabilitation at home after hip fracture, partly funded through a HCF grant.
Research impact is showcased by national and international reach, as exemplified by:

- Study of weekend physiotherapy for patients after hip fracture, demonstrating improved early mobility in the intervention group (Ní Chróinín et al; DOI: 10.1111/ajag.13317),incorporated into NSW ACI Orthogeriatric guidelines (2024).
- Statin systematic review and met-analysis (Ní Chróinín et al, DOI: 10.1161/STROKEAHA.112.668277) incorporated into Global expert consensus on the importance of secondary stroke prevention (Caso et al, 2026); International Lipid Expert Panel consensus paper recommendations (Banech et al; 2025), Lipid Association of India Clinical practice recommendations (Puri et al, 2022) and Taiwanese Lipid Guidelines (Li et al, 2017)
- North Dublin Population Stroke Study data (Kelly et al, DOI: 10.1161/STROKEAHA.111.645721 incorporated into Irish Stroke Guidelines (2023)
