Understanding need.
Informing support.
Connecting research with the needs of veterans and military families.
The Map Of Need Aggregated ResearCH (MONARCH) project brings a research focus to understanding the Armed Forces community and informing the organisations that support it.
THE MONARCH PROJECT
A clearer picture.
A stronger foundation.

MONARCH is a research project within the Northern Hub for Veterans’ & Military Families’ Research at Northumbria University. Its name stands for Map of Need Aggregated Research Study.
This page introduces the project and provides a starting point for service organisations, policymakers and researchers interested in its work.
