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.
