Incorporating real-world impact into research proposals
Developing impact ideas with Jeannette Littlemore (University of Birmingham)
The inclusion of real-world impact is becoming an essential component of research funding proposals. In this workshop we will explore different kinds of impact and discuss how they can be achieved. In order to do this, we will examine real-world examples of impact, including research projects that have contributed to pregnancy loss and bereavement support, advertising for health and well-being, educational improvements. In each case, we will look at how the impact was developed from the ground up through close collaboration with non-academic partners. Participants will be encouraged to reflect on their own research areas and to consider ways in which they might incorporate meaningful impact in current and future projects.
Content warning: Please note that the workshop will contain sensitive content relating to pregnancy loss, bereavement and child protection.
The workshop will last about 90 minutes in total.
In the afternoon, there will be time for individual consultations with Jeannette. If you want to have a consultation, please let us know.
