RESEARCH AGENDA

Our 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. It will guide NDRP funding for collaborative and inclusive disability research led by and with people with disability. This research will build evidence for disability policy and practice in Australia.

​

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 (see below).

Consultation

We are now working on expanding the research agenda and developing a framework which will guide the allocation of NDRP funding. In early 2023 we will invite feedback through an online survey and a series of workshops with the disability community.

Agenda setting research project

We commissioned the University of Sydney, together with a large group of researchers and community organisations to look at research gaps and ask the disability community about research priorities.

 

The agenda setting research involved three phases: 

  1. Mapping recent Australian research related to people with disability 

  2. Consult with people with disability and a range of other stakeholders to identify key issues 

  3. Synthesise and refine findings from the first two phases.
