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

Movember is working with Orygen's Young Men's Mental Health team to gain an up to date understanding of the scientific literature. This includes a focus on how young men cope and respond to life stressors, and what the research tells us works to support them. This information is available to be shared with key stakeholders, and is being used to inform young men's mental health initiatives occurring across Movember.

This information is available to be shared with key stakeholders, and is being used to inform young men's mental health initiatives occurring across Movember. Specifically, these reviews have collated evidence surrounding 'what works' in young men's mental health interventions, which will be integral to Movember's decision making surrounding future funding of mental health programs.

Further, these reviews have highlighted important gaps in the evidence base (i.e., 'what we don't know'). Such insights are integral to the development of a future research agenda for the Movember institute and research projects planning within all of young men's mental health initiatives.
