We work closely with our global men's health partners to ensure collaboration, transparency and accountability for every project we fund. We monitor this through report cards which detail what we seek to achieve, key measures and the impact.
Prostate Cancer
"Together with the brightest minds in research, we aim to achieve significant breakthroughs in the hope of beating prostate cancer. Our disruptive funding approach identifies revolutionary ways to accelerate health outcomes by creating strong, global collaborative teams." Dr. Colleen Nelson, Global Scientific Chair.
Men's Health
"One Mo can help change the face of men’s health through the powerful conversations created globally during Movember. Men have the chance to confidently discuss men’s health with people around them, resulting in men taking action early, helping change and save lives." Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes
Mental health and suicide prevention
“The number of men taking their own lives around the world is one of the biggest challenges of our time. Movember is working to ensure all men and boys look after their mental health and are comfortable to seek help when they’re struggling.”
Brendan Maher, Global Director, Mental Health and Suicide Prevention.
Testicular Cancer
“Despite being the 2nd most common cancer in young men, testicular cancer is often a forgotten cancer due to early detection and treatment. Our projects look at underinvested areas such as improving access to healthcare services and treatment options for relapse” Paul Villanti, Executive Director, Programmes.

About the project

Through this funding opportunity we are aiming to address the mental health risks associated with social isolation through digital and or technological interventions, particularly within groups of men who are at risk and where these innovative solutions can potentially be scaled for greater impact. 

Eleven projects across Australia, Canada, Ireland, and UK initially received investment to co-develop their ideas with Movember over a two-year period. Details about those successful funding recipients can be found here: https://au.movember.com/story/movember-announces-funding-for-11-new-projects-to-support-men-s-mental-health. 

In September 2023, Flinders University was one of five projects to receive additional funding to implement and evaluate their project 'YBMenNT: Implementation of the YBMenNT online social and emotional wellbeing health promotion program for young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males' over the next two years. 

Project Funding: 
Phase 1 Co-Development: AUD 219,935
Phase 2 Implementation: AUD 399,766

Project Description:
Few digital health promotion programs are tailored towards the unique health, social and cultural needs of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males - despite their disproportionate experience of mental health concerns, suicide ideation and suicide. This project involves the trial implementation of an adapted online social and emotional wellbeing health promotion program (YBMenNT), which aims to engage young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander males from the Northern Territory, Australia. The project uses a private social media group (ie. Facebook or Instagram) to generate strengths-based discussions about mental health, cultural identity, and progressive concepts of manhood and masculinities. 

First Person Consulting, a third-party evaluator has been engaged as the evaluation partner for this work.
