Auslan for Launching the 2026 Disability Research Funding | National Disability Research Partnership

On 19 February 2026, the National Disability Research Partnership (NDRP) launched the 2026 Disability Research Funding, marking a significant step forward in strengthening disability-led research and ensuring evidence drives policy and practice change across Australia. • Do you have questions - https://forms.office.com/r/4B5hfiDFxZ • Let us know what you think - https://s.zoom.us/m/bPlRx5gXQ This national launch brought together people with disability, researchers, governments, advocacy organisations and sector leaders to signal a shared commitment to research that delivers real-world impact. At the centre of this funding round is NDRP’s core principle: Research by and with people with disability, not research done about them. The event highlights how disability research can move beyond knowledge generation to become a powerful driver of safer systems, more inclusive communities and stronger policy outcomes. 2026 Funding Priority Themes • Safety of people with disability: Supporting research that addresses harm, safeguarding, and the elimination of restrictive practices. • Accessible and Inclusive Communities: Driving evidence that supports systemic change across the built environment, services, transport, digital access and community participation. Why this matters Australia has strong disability research capability, but too often evidence is not mobilised into policy and practice. NDRP exists to bridge this gap by: • Funding research led by and with people with disability • Building research capability and leadership • Mobilising evidence for real-world impact • Ensuring research is accessible, inclusive and usable by decision makers and communities The 2026 Disability Research Funding round reflects this shift, from research as output to research as action. About the National Disability Research Partnership (NDRP) NDRP is an independent national organisation supporting disability research that strengthens the evidence base and improves outcomes for people with disability.
