The NDRP Board is thrilled to announce our first Research Committee, which will provide independent, strategic advice on the NDRP’s research activities. These include our research funding, capacity strengthening, evidence to action and research translation activities.
The Research Committee will serve for two years as a sub-committee of the NDRP Board.
Members were selected from a very strong group of more than a hundred applicants. The Board considered applicants’ experience and skills in research led by and with people with disability, advocacy and policy. All selected members showed they had applied the NDRP principles in their work across different contexts.
The Committee members are:
Dr Kate Davies, Public Officer for the Community Disability Alliance Hunter and Research Director at the Law and Justice Foundation of NSW
Dr Elroy Dearn, Research Fellow in Design and Social Context at RMIT and the Summer Foundation
Dr Alexandra Devine, Senior Research Fellow in Disability Research Policy at the University of Melbourne
Prof Helen Dickinson, Professor of Public Service Research, University of NSW
