The new AHRC IAA will be instrumental in increasing capacity to deliver timely impact activities developed with strategic partners and diverse external stakeholders. It will enable the arts and humanities to fulfil key objectives from the Birmingham 2030 Strategic Framework which align with UKRI priorities. These aims and objectives underpin this IAA:Aim 1: Support innovative and experimental knowledge exchangeThe AHRC IAA funding schemes will enable arts and humanities scholars and practitioners to maximise user engagement. We will encourage applications for innovative and experimental knowledge exchange to generate high-risk/high-gain impact initiatives through new modes of delivery for knowledge exchange and new methods of evaluation (objective 1). Researchers will reach new audiences (both diverse and underrepresented), develop novel partnerships in academia and beyond and support a model of co-design and implementation. By supporting challenge-led research and impact initiatives (objective 2), and enabling and mentoring UoB researchers working in these areas and in these ways, we aim to accelerate and maximise their impact potential. In particular, this aim seeks to support researchers in extending the capacity for impact through identifying and developing key strategic partnerships at an early stage and maintaining the involvement of key stakeholders.Aim 2: Strengthen stakeholder engagement and leveraging of cultural assetsWe will strengthen and widen user engagement with arts and humanities research (objective 3). This will be achieved by enabling our collaborators to inform what 'good' impact looks like and developing measures of success that demonstrate the changes (economic, social, cultural) achieved. We will develop new strategic partnerships, while consolidating existing ones to identify together future challenges and solutions (objective 4). This will build capacity at user organisations through a skills training scheme involving ECRs to fast-track their engagement through secondments to users of arts and humanities research. A key outcome is evidence- based 'key performance indicators' to improve stakeholder engagement.Aim 3: Consolidating and enhancing impact cultureWe will embed impact leadership within institutional structures (objective 5), developing impact leaders of the future with a mentoring and coaching programme to underpin all funding schemes to better support early career researchers (ECRs) and EDI-protected characteristics. Emphasis will be on creating diverse and inclusive interdisciplinary mentoring teams to work across projects, thus creating additional opportunities for connections across academic communities and further enhancing the value of impact to users and beneficiaries. We will ensure that impact is fully supported and rewarded as part of the arts and humanities research portfolio (objective 6). To do this we will increase researchers' capabilities to facilitate impact by ensuring a nuanced and widespread understanding of the concept and how to deliver it. It will be incentivised through the new Birmingham Academic Career Framework that specifies impact and engagement as a pathway for promotion. Core to this objective is an interdisciplinary approach: we will work across UoB to facilitate impact workshops annually with the specific aim to IAA-fund the best projects. There will be a multidisciplinary impact fund and we will promote and celebrate impact from arts and humanities research (objective 7). Such promotion will showcase the best impact examples to demonstrate to a diverse range of audiences the socio-economic value of these engagements at civic, regional, national, and international levels though The Exchange, Public Engagement Day, Light of Understanding Award, Annual University Research Conference, and Knowledge Exchange Concordat.

新的AHRC IAA将有助于提高与战略伙伴和不同的外部利益攸关方共同制定的及时产生影响的活动的能力。它将使艺术和人文学科能够实现伯明翰2030年战略框架中的关键目标，这些目标与英国理工学院的优先事项保持一致。这些目的和目标是IAA的基础：目的1：支持创新和实验性的知识交流AHRC IAA资助计划将使艺术和人文学者和从业者能够最大限度地增加用户参与度。我们将通过新的知识交流交付模式和新的评价方法，鼓励创新和实验性知识交流的应用，以产生高风险/高收益的倡议(目标1)。研究人员将接触到新的受众(包括不同的和代表性不足的受众)，在学术界和其他领域发展新的伙伴关系，并支持共同设计和实施的模式。通过支持以挑战为主导的研究和影响倡议(目标2)，以及支持和指导在这些领域和以这些方式工作的大华大学研究人员，我们的目标是加速和最大限度地发挥他们的影响潜力。目标2：加强利益攸关方的参与和利用文化资产我们将加强和扩大用户对艺术和人文研究的参与(目标3)。这将通过使我们的合作者能够告诉我们什么是好的影响，并制定成功的衡量标准来实现这一点，这些衡量标准展示了所取得的变化(经济、社会、文化)。我们将发展新的战略伙伴关系，同时巩固现有伙伴关系，共同确定未来的挑战和解决方案(目标4)。这将通过一项涉及ECR的技能培训计划来建设用户组织的能力，通过借调艺术和人文研究用户来快速跟踪他们的参与。目标3：巩固和加强影响力文化我们将在机构结构中嵌入影响力领导力(目标5)，通过指导和指导计划培养未来的影响力领导者，以支持所有资助计划，以更好地支持早期职业研究人员(ECR)和受EDI保护的特征。重点将是创建多样化和包容性的跨学科指导团队，以跨项目开展工作，从而为学术界之间的联系创造更多机会，并进一步提高对用户和受益者的影响价值。我们将确保IMPACT作为艺术和人文研究组合的一部分得到充分支持和奖励(目标6)。为了做到这一点，我们将提高研究人员的能力，通过确保对这一概念及其如何交付的细微而广泛的理解来促进影响。它将通过新的伯明翰学术职业框架得到激励，该框架将影响力和参与度指定为晋升的途径。这一目标的核心是一种跨学科的方法：我们将在大华大学各部门合作，促进每年的影响研讨会，具体目的是为IAA--资助最佳项目提供资金。将有一个多学科影响基金，我们将促进和庆祝艺术和人文研究的影响(目标7)。这种宣传活动将展示最佳影响范例，通过交流会、公众参与日、理解之光奖、年度大学研究会议和知识交流协议书，向不同的受众展示这些活动在公民、地区、国家和国际层面的社会经济价值。
