Ember Innovations Research Grants

Ember Innovations warmly welcomes expressions of interest from visionary researchers whose work can contribute to a more compassionate, evidence-informed Aotearoa New Zealand.

We recognise the valuable contribution that researchers with lived experience are already making, and we want to strengthen that leadership, amplify its impact, and grow a more connected lived experience research community.

We are looking for research from any discipline, aligning with Ember’s commitment to innovation, wellbeing, community impact, and the creation of evidence others can use.

Ember dreams of an Aotearoa New Zealand that responds to mental health, addiction, and disability with compassion, dignity, and practical support.
