Research capacity building
AHURI research capacity building measures are designed to benefit students and academics by building depth in their fields of research. They include Postgraduate Top Up Scholarships, the Postgraduate Symposium and a Postdoctoral Fellowship.
Postgraduate Top Up Scholarship
AHURI offers the NHRP Postgraduate Top Up Scholarship to assist students in their housing and homelessness research. Top Up Scholarships are only available to students of AHURI's partner universities.
In addition to funding, Top Up Scholars have the opportunity to attend the annual two-day AHURI Postgraduate Symposium, in which they are invited to present and discuss their research with peers and leading housing and urban researchers.
