Our research roadmap
Our Research Roadmap Consultation Draft provides direction for the type of research Anglicare aims to encourage, our approach, and the cohorts and issues we are prioritising over the period 2025-2027.
Research Applications
Anglicare partners with researchers to contribute to knowledge on a wide range of issues relevant to our service delivery and the human services sector more broadly.
We are interested in potential partnerships on larger grants such as ARC Linkage or MRFF projects, involving in-kind or possible limited cash contributions from Anglicare.
We also have funding of up to $20,000 available for a small number of university researcher-generated projects of direct value to Anglicare clients, residents and/or staff.
If you would like to apply to partner with Anglicare on your research project, please contact the research team to discuss before submitting an application for review.
The online application questions are provided below to view only, for your convenience.
Advertise your research
Anglicare promotes opportunities for staff to undertake in their own time through an intranet noticeboard, which is regularly updated and advertised.
If you would like to advertise your research to Anglicare staff, please complete this brief application.
Please note that if you would like Anglicare to play a more active role in supporting the research, including helping to recruit staff or client participants, you will need to complete a research application as outlined above.
FAQs
Have you got questions about conducting research with Anglicare Southern Queensland? Review our frequently asked questions, or contact us for more information.
How long does the application process take?
It takes up to approximately 4 weeks for applications to be assessed, and for researchers to receive notification of the outcome by email. There is no guarantee that an application will be approved once submitted.
Please ensure all relevant documentation is attached with your application.
Can my research application be expedited?
Applications require internal processing (including consultation with relevant staff), and then, depending on the size and scope of the project, may require consideration by the Anglicare Research Governance Committee (RCG). The RGC usually meets every fortnight although there may be unavoidable changes or delays to this timeframe.
While we do our best to expedite applications in exceptional circumstances, we cannot guarantee a faster turnaround.
Does Anglicare have an Ethics approval process?
Anglicare recognises approvals provided by formally constituted Human Research Ethics Committees, and there is no additional Ethics process.
Our internal research governance process addresses Anglicare-specific issues such as the nature and extent of in-kind contributions being requested, risks and benefits, media implications, and plans for dissemination of the research findings to our staff.
Is there an appeal process if my application is declined?
We’ll let you know early in the review process if it is unlikely that your proposal will be supported. We’ll also advise you of other options for conducting your research. When Anglicare declines an application, it’s usually because the proposed study doesn’t align with our current strategic or research priorities, and/or because it will impact adversely on the time and resources of clients and staff. You’re welcome to submit a new or revised application in response to our feedback and comments.
