Community Impact Research Award, funded by the ACT Government

A Research Award offered by the Population Health Exchange (PHXchange) ANU to conduct research exploring the impact of loose fill asbestos insulation (commonly known as 'Mr Fluffy') on the ACT community and society as a whole. This opportunity allows scholars to make a significant contribution to their chosen field of research with freedom to outline a project and choose one or more disciplinary approaches based on their own strengths and preferences. The Research Award provides an opportunity to undertake inquiry into aspects of the community experience other than physical health, including mental health, creative, social and/or policy responses. Applications are encouraged from people with relevant lived experience with Mr Fluffy, such as residents, those involved in policy response, or private industry. The award is funded by the ACT Government and was a recommendation of the Community and Expert Reference Group.
