About Funding

Research projects are the backbone of AHURI’s Research Program and consume the largest single share of annual research funding. Research projects typically comprise single, less complex research questions. They are funded through an annual competitive funding round, and by inviting tender responses to research briefs issued throughout the year. Research projects may vary in length from a few weeks to a few years and range across discrete secondary data analysis to significant primary data collection exercises. The key housing and urban policy issues examined through research projects relate to the policy themes and research areas detailed in the AHURI Research Agenda.

AHURI funds small projects ($50,000), medium projects (up to $125,000) and large projects (up to $250,000). Only AHURI Research Centres can apply for AHURI project funding. Applicants for AHURI project funding must consult the Guidelines for Applicants and all applications have to be submitted through an AHURI Research Centre Director.
