Bath Spa University - AHRC - Impact Acceleration Account

AHRC IAA将使我们能够支持更广泛的具有新的研究影响的工作人员，并在我们的机构影响文化中实现逐步改变。它将以我们在这一领域的投资为基础，并补充我们的HEQR种子基金计划。由于其他资金来源有限，我们相信，通过IAA的支持，我们可以最大限度地发挥重大的研究影响潜力，特别是在以下领域：-与创意产业合作，重点关注中小企业和微型企业；-基于地点的伙伴关系方法；-处理联合国的可持续发展目标（SDGs）一个AHRC IAA将建立在BSU AHRC职权范围内的卓越研究基础上，包括：艺术与设计；传播、文化和媒体研究；英语语言文学；地理与环境（含文化地理、环境人文）；历史;音乐和表演艺术。我们提出了一套灵活的方法，这将使我们能够在一系列层面上加速我们的A&H研究的影响。这些活动的定位是利用艺术和人文研究提供的特定类型的影响机会，并支持可能的非学术利益相关者；我们将支持研究人员利用他们在工作中出现的机会，并确保非学术合作伙伴得到适当的报酬。例如，与更传统的商业机会相比，创意商业化伙伴关系可能处于不利地位，而我们有能力支持微型初创企业和创意企业家迈出第一步。作为一个支持创造性研究方法的机构，我们将利用我们的机构知识和专业知识，在整个发展影响的过程中保持对艺术和人文研究人员及其非学术合作伙伴的需求的响应。

An AHRC IAA will allow us to support a much broader range of staff with new research impact and achieve a step-change in our institutional impact culture. It will build on the investments that we have made in this area and complement our HEQR seed funding scheme. With limited recourse to other funding for reactive opportunities we believe there is significant research impact potential which we could maximise through the support of an IAA, particularly in the following areas:-with and for the creative industries, with a focus on SMEs and micro businesses;-place-based partnership approaches;-tackling the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)An AHRC IAA will build upon an established base of research excellence in the AHRC's remit area at BSU including: Art and Design; Communication, Cultural and Media Studies; English Language and Literature; Geography and Environment (including cultural geography and environmental humanities); History; and Music and Performing Arts.We propose a suite of flexible approaches which will enable us to accelerate the impact of our A&H research at a range of levels. These activities are positioned to take advantage of the specific types of impact opportunities offered by arts & humanities research and to support likely non-academic stakeholders; we will support researchers to capitalise on opportunities as they arise during their work and ensure that non-academic partners are paid appropriately for their time. For instance, creative commercialisation partnerships can be at a disadvantage compared to more traditional business opportunities and we are well placed to support micro start-ups and creative entrepreneurs with their first steps. We will draw on our institutional knowledge and expertise, as an institution that supports creative research approaches, to remain responsive to the needs of arts & humanities researchers and their non-academic partners throughout the process of developing impact.
