Call for applications 2024
To support CCREATE-AGE in its vision to stimulate co-created ageing research, we will fund Research Development Groups (RDGs) up to $10,000 per group to support a transdisciplinary group of people who are interested in co-creating a research proposal.
Research proposals should be submitted on the attached form and address research questions related to one or more priorities identified by communities through our 2023 listening events. The priorities are listed in the following guidelines and application form.
As a result of the award, the RDGs are expected to apply for at least one substantial research grant or funding opportunity.
The RDG should
- Include at least two experienced researchers at the University of Auckland.
- Have a chair who will convene the RDG meetings, report progress and maintain communication with CCREATE-AGE project manager.
- Be transdisciplinary, which means:
- Cover at least two academic disciplines
- Involve older people
- Involve collaborators from at least one sector other than academia i.e., private, public or civic society. For example, practitioners, local council, and voluntary sector representatives and community groups with an interest in the research topic may be useful partners.
The expected outputs of the RDG will be:
- At least one co-created research proposal with an outcome that will benefit older people in Aotearoa.
- A public seminar at a CCREATE-AGE forum to describe the work of the RDG.
- Progress report to CCREATE-AGE.
