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.
The Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre awarded nine IgnitED Fund Grants in this initial 2022 round.
The Australian Eating Disorders Research and Translation Centre was officially opened by the Australian Government at the University of Sydney’s Charles Perkins Centre today. Under a $13 million grant, the Centre aims to transform how we support, treat, and even cure people with eating disorders.
This Forum discussed current and emerging food and eating disorder issues within community and the research and translation gaps and priorities that exist currently. It will help guide the development of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Research & Translation Strategy as a key activity of the Australian Eating Disorder Research and Translation Centre.
We are charged with implementing The Australian Eating Disorders Research & Translation Strategy 2021-2031 which was developed over two years of consultation. It is our intention that the Strategy is a document that is used and is useful, that we respond to the gaps it identifies, bring to life the actions articulated through our consultations, and that it is a live document in so much as we use it as a springboard for the generation of new ideas, activities and strategic priorities as required.
