Research

Broad Grant Types

Research Grants support research projects that investigate social issues impacting on the wellbeing of the Western Australian community.

Research Grants aim to:

• Provide an opportunity for community organisations to undertake social research
• Encourage collaboration between community organisations
• Promote a coordinated approach between researchers, service providers, policy makers and the local community.

Priority is given to proposals that:

• Have been developed in response to issues identified by the community
• Involve strong collaboration between community organisations
• Are based on sound research methodology
• Involve recognised and qualified researchers and
• Involve other funding support and resources

We encourage the findings of the research to be published or distributed to the community that identified the issue being researched. The research must be available to other interested community groups.
