About
The AAG Research Trust funds Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander-led projects that relate to ageing in Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people. In so doing, its aim is to:
- Support Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander early career researchers and practitioners working across the multidisciplinary field of ageing to build their skills and capacity.
- Develop evidence-based knowledge about ageing in Indigenous Australian communities that takes an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander perspective and standpoint to inform policy and program development.
This grant offers broad selection criteria, with applications open to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander members with demonstrable experience working with the community, and/or Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander researchers and practitioners with experience in their field, including early career researchers and groups.
