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

The program follows a trajectory of cultivating new, innovative ideas that are carried through development and testing to understand what works for men, in which context(s) and why. Through the DGR Social Connections Challenge, we are looking to stimulate thinking that generates innovative ideas across five participating countries (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK, US). It is expected that ideas will leverage the camaraderie and shoulder-to-shoulder connections and relationships that already exist among motorcycle riders to develop and pilot innovative programs that will increase levels of social connectivity, life satisfaction and mental wellbeing of riders and their immediate social networks that support them.  The initiative operated in two phases.

  • Phase 1 provided up to 25 development grants, valued at up to AUD $7,500, awarded internationally for project development which involved the design and development of a plan to pilot their ideas.
  • Phase 2 followed the development period and resulted in 9 teams receiving a maximum of AUD $75,000 to test their idea in a real world setting over a 12 month period to see if it works.
A global panel comprised of subject matter experts and real world experience was convened to carry out a rigorous peer review process and grants have been awarded in Australia (3 recipients); United Kingdom (3 recipients); Canada (1 recipient); New Zealand (1 recipient); and United States (1 recipient).

A third party evaluation team has been engaged to evaluate the projects at an individual and programmatic level.
