Institute for Rural Futures - Research Program
The Research Program of the Institute must remain flexible to the funding environment, government policies and directions, while also being ‘forward looking’ in building capacities for the Institute, UNE, and Rural Australia.
Three key thematic areas have been identified that target prevailing rural issues and research funding opportunities, and a fourth area of developing strength is targeting an emerging area to build on existing strengths in positioning the IRF and UNE for the future.
The research projects in each of these areas are funded by the Commonwealth rural research and development corporations, other Commonwealth agencies, State government agencies, local government and the private sector.
