Opportunities to Fund Our Work

SEACO is sustained by Monash University Malaysia and grows through partnership with research funders and philanthropic supporters. Investing in SEACO means investing in long-term, community-embedded research infrastructure — and in the health and future of the communities of Segamat.

Your support can help us:

  • sustain and strengthen the platform and its field operations;
  • unlock the scientific value of more than a decade of longitudinal data;
  • open the platform to new disciplines and new research questions;
  • deepen community co-ownership and strengthen data governance; and
  • extend the SEACO model to new communities and settings.

Why fund SEACO. SEACO offers a unique, well-characterised, multi-ethnic population followed over time; ready-built research infrastructure and trusted community relationships; genuine multidisciplinary reach; and research aligned with national and global priorities — from climate and health to healthy ageing and non-communicable diseases and more. We welcome conversations with research funders, foundations and organisations interested in co-investing in specific programmes or in the platform itself.
