Research Awards

As part of the Housing Researchers’ conference, three awards will be presented for contributions to housing research in Australia and New Zealand.

The awards are:

• Australasian Housing Research Award for Outstanding Contribution
  This Award is to acknowledge someone who has made a substantial contribution over an extended period to the housing research field in Australasia. The recipient will have been judged to have achieved a sustained level of research excellence in her/his field of housing research.
• Federal Housing Minister’s Early Career Researchers Award
  This Award is to acknowledge the potential and performance of an Australia researcher with five or less years experience in housing research and in so doing encourage both the awardee and others in continuing the pursuit of excellence in housing research. This award is sponsored by AHURI.

  Like AHURI, the Australian Government is committed to developing evidence based policy for housing and homelessness. A natural link to this position is the encouragement of young researchers to undertake housing related research and, hopefully, continue to work in the housing sector

  The Award will be presented at the annual dinner of Australasian Housing Researchers Conference to recognise excellence in housing and urban research by those beginning their careers. Candidates will include those who have nominated as an early career researcher when submitting their conference abstracts.

• Innovation in Housing Research Award
  This award is for the most innovative or original paper presented by an Australian or New Zealander at the 2009 Sydney Australasian Housing Researchers joint conference with the APNHR.

  Nominations:
  We are seeking relevant nominations for the first two of these awards by COB 24 July 2009. The criteria for these two awards are posted on the conference website and nominations are to be sent by email to: m.schwensen@unsw.edu.au

  A panel made up of the Australasian Housing Research Conference organization group and other peer housing researchers will then decide on the winning nominees. The names for the first two awards will be announced and the awards presented at the conference dinner. A separate process is in place for the Innovation in Housing Research Award during the conference which will also be announced and presented at the dinner.
