This Fellowship aims to elucidate the biological, psychological and social determinants of the adverse effects of forced family separation on physical and emotional wellbeing. Through utilizing a novel multi-method experimental and longitudinal design that aligns lab-based studies with the ecological study of refugee separation, new knowledge gained will be disseminated to stakeholders via participatory workshops to guide translation pathways. Expected outcomes will advance a science of separation that harnesses psychological insights to address key social issues. This should benefit Australian society by better supporting people to navigate the harmful effects of forced separation through evidence-based best practice and policy.","funding-current":1313201.00,"funding-at-announcement":1285428,"investigators-current":[{"title":"Prof","firstName":"Belinda","familyName":"Liddell","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-8036-5864 "}],"investigators-at-announcement":[{"title":"Prof","firstName":"Belinda","familyName":"Liddell","roleName":"Future Fellowship","roleCode":"FT","isFellowship":true,"orcidIdentifier":"0000-0002-8036-5864 "}],"organisations-current":[{"organisationName":"The University of Newcastle","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"NSW"}],"organisations-at-announcement":[{"organisationName":"The University of Newcastle","roleName":"Administering Organisation","state":"NSW"}],"field-of-research":[{"isPrimary":true,"code":"5205","name":"Social and Personality Psychology","type":"FOR20"},{"isPrimary":false,"code":"520505","name":"Social Psychology","type":"FOR20"}],"socio-economic-objective":[{"code":"230110","name":"Migrant and Refugee Settlement Services","type":"SEO20"},{"code":"280121","name":"Expanding Knowledge In Psychology","type":"SEO20"}],"international-collaboration":["Germany","Israel","United States of America"],"lief-register":[],"achievement-summary":null,"national-interest-test-statement":"Forcible separation due to war, displacement, migration, pandemics or other events (e.g. imprisonment) adversely affects millions of Australians and people around the world. However, there are significant gaps in our understanding of how forced separation affects the brain and body systems that govern how we feel, think and connect, impeding the development of best-practice efforts to support those enduring forced separation.\n\nThis Fellowship will address this problem by mapping the biological, psychological and social processes that are negatively impacted or facilitate coping when we are forced to be separated from those we love. Lab-based testing will be combined with the lived experience of refugees to build a scientific model of separation that uncovers new priorities for elevating evidence-based practice.\n\nThis model will be disseminated to practice, policy and community stakeholders through participatory workshops and briefings to determine how it can shape practice, influence policy and motivate further research. \n\nThis Fellowship will benefit those separated from family by enabling programs that help to navigate separation with more ease, proactively improve coping and strengthen social resilience. Outcomes will assist providers in their service delivery to reduce the overall burden of separation on Australia’s health system, and contribute to developing healthier, more connected local and global communities that thrive despite adversity."}}}
