Monash Regional Australia Project (MRAP)

The Monash Regional Australia Project (MRAP) is an interdisciplinary, collaborative and cross-campus program established by Monash University in 1999. The research program brings together the University's established expertise in the analysis of social, economic and environmental change.

The researchers associated with MRAP have skills in policy analysis, social and community research, data compilation, processing and analysis, questionnaire design, surveys, qualitative research methods, and action research. The research program was initially funded under the Special Monash University Research Fund and subsequently by grants from the Australian Research Council and through contract research. MRAP is co-ordinated by Dr Jacqui Dibden, School of Geography and Environmental Science, Monash University.
