The National Disability Research Partnership (NDRP) is independent of government and operates on a defined budget. Research priority setting in relation to the longitudinal study is a decision for the NDRP Board. The NDRP is developing its capability for future commissioned research through a pilot project.
The NDRP has commenced its biannual research rounds initially themed on ‘safety of people with disability’. The NDRP is currently funded through a Commonwealth grant, ending in June 2027.
Further work will consider potential opportunities to leverage existing studies and longitudinal data assets.
