Community Men's Health Research Program

Community Men's Health Research Program

A world-first funding program that places early-career researchers directly inside community organisations already making a difference for young men. The goal isn't to create new programs from scratch — it's to back what's already working and build the proof that helps it grow.

Who it’s for

EARLY-CAREER RESEARCHERS

To conduct meaningful, real-world research embedded within community organisations — generating evidence that has immediate practical application.

COMMUNITY ORGANISATIONS

To have dedicated research support that helps them understand, strengthen and evidence the impact of their existing work with young men.

POLICYMAKERS & FUNDERS

To access robust evidence about what works for young men's health in community settings — and use it to direct investment more effectively.

GLOBAL IMPACT

Some of the most impactful work for young men's health happens at community level — underfunded, under-evidenced and under the radar.

Movember supports all individuals within the LGBTQIA+ community, including those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual. Health disparities exist, with LGBTQIA+ individuals experiencing higher rates of mental health issues and discrimination, often exacerbated by stigma in healthcare. We advocate for the right to self-identify, protection from discrimination, inclusive education, and rights-affirming healthcare, ensuring everyone can lead a healthy, dignified life.

Movember acknowledge the many and varied experiences of people navigating their health and wellbeing, those who support them and those who came before us whose stories, struggles and strength have shaped what we know. We recognise those who have generously shared their knowledge and wisdom with us and honour those we have lost too soon. Their knowledge, insight and expertise are essential to improving the design, delivery and evaluation of the work that we do and their experiences remind us why this work matters.

Movember Foundation is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
