Research

The Faculty’s research priority areas include:

  • Growing, Living and Aging Well
  • Healthy Minds, and
  • Sustainable Systems

The Faculty is presently developing a new Research Strategy around One Health that will see greater collaboration across UNE, with external partner organisations and the community.

The Faculty takes advantage of UNE's strengths in data science and developing strength in rural and tele-health to develop new approaches to healthcare based on increasingly available data and Information and communication technology capabilities. The government’s focused funding for research translation plays to UNE’s strength as a university embedded in its community.

The Manna Institute aims to build the place-based research capacity of regional mental health researchers and develop collaborative research that addresses the complex issues affecting mental health in regional, rural and remote Australia. This 3-year project is a collaboration between universities in the Regional Universities Network (RUN), led by the University of New England.
