Learnings and recommendations report
This report has recommendations for setting up and running a National Disability Research Partnership. It is based on feedback from the disability community and a range of other stakeholders who contributed during our Establishment Phase (2020-2022). There are two reports: Learnings and Recommendations (including an easy read version) and a Governance Recommendation: Who should run the NDRP and how.

Preliminary research agenda
The NDRP research agenda is being developed to guide the allocation of research funding by the NDRP over a ten-year time period.​ it will outline the priority topics and themes that are important to the disability community. Once complete, the NDRP research agenda will be the foundation for the NDRP to deliver on its vision. We have developed this preliminary research agenda to help inform the final agenda. It draws on findings from a three-phase agenda-setting research project.
