The Melbourne Social Equity Institute's Seed Funding Program is designed to support medium-scale projects that create opportunities for researchers, policymakers, practitioners and people with lived experience of disadvantage or marginalisation to undertake research together.
We are delighted to announce the seven projects that have been funded in 2020.
The selected projects demonstrate a combination of interdisciplinarity, connection to the community and innovative research methodologies.
