The National Disability Research Partnership (NDRP) funds research led by and with people with disability. Its purpose is to build a national disability research program in Australia that builds evidence for successful policy and practice. One of the ambitions of the NDRP is to strengthen capacity to conduct collaborative, high-quality inclusive disability research. 

This plan acknowledges that there is already capacity in disability research in Australia but that there is a need to substantially improve this, ensure it is disability-inclusive, and focusses on issues of important for people with disability and other stakeholder groups. 

This document outlines the NDRP’s plan to strengthen capacity for disability research in Australia.
