Description
Applications are now open for Movember’s Community Men’s Health Research Program. Early-career researchers (less than 5 years post-PhD) can now access the full Request for Applications (RFA) and accompanying documents, and begin submissions via the online system.
Movember is inviting applications from researchers partnered with community organizations delivering funded, research-ready programs for boys and young men (12–35). Successful applicants will become Community Fellows, leading research that sits within communities — not outside them — translating what’s already happening on the ground to understand, strengthen, and evidence what works.
Core Research Themes:
– Coping and Consumption
– Social Connection
– Early Fatherhood
Support is provided for up to three years through host universities, alongside a research support allocation and a contribution to community organisation capacity to enable meaningful partnership and participation.
