The Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre’s IgnitED Fund is intended to support the creation of new partnerships and genuinely co-designed testing of new ideas that have the potential to help solve the problem of eating disorders. All IgnitED Fund projects are co-designed with research and lived experience expertise (at a minimum).
The first round of the IgnitED Fund was launched in May 2022 and a total of 84 applications were received. The Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre awarded nine IgnitED Fund Grants in this initial round, with a funding allocation of $250,000.
