Research

Help us conduct research that explores ageing from multiple academic perspectives and translates insights into practical solutions for older people’s everyday lives.

 

Doctoral scholarships

Each year, CCREATE-AGE awards two University of Auckland Doctoral Scholarships to support PhD candidates undertaking co-created ageing research. Successful projects must:

  • Span more than one discipline.
  • Align with one or more CCREATE-AGE research themes.
  • Address the self-identified needs and aspirations of older people, researchers, stakeholders, and funders.

These scholarships provide an exceptional opportunity to join a collaborative research environment, make a tangible impact, and shape the future of ageing research.

PhD candidates

A PhDs is an excellent opportunity to contribute to our research community, the broader society, and the individual students themselves, helping them further their careers.

Key aspects to consider when applying for a PhD scholarship at CoCreate Age include:

  • Co-created research: actively involving older people.
  • Transdisciplinary research: spanning more than one discipline and aligned to one or more of research themes.
  • Research that embeds equity, diversity, or inclusion.
