Research

Our vision

Research is driven and owned by our communities and organisations, with Aboriginal people leading the way in defining priorities, guiding processes, and owning the data and outcomes.

SAWCAN is committed to transforming the way Aboriginal health and wellbeing research is conducted in our region and with our Partner Organisations.

Submit a research application

Through our Partner Organisations, SAWCAN has recognised the need for a formal research application process to ensure that research conducted in our communities aligns with our priorities and values. This new way of working allows us to review, prioritise and focus on research that is truly important to us. By establishing clear guidelines, we can better manage how research is conducted, ensuring that it benefits our communities and respects our cultural knowledge and practices.

No matter the stage of your research project – whether you are in the early stages and seeking a letter of support for a funding application, preparing to apply for ethics approval, or are ready to implement your project, completion of the application process is a requirement in order for it to proceed.
