University of Brighton Impact Accelerator Account 2022-2025

布莱顿大学(UOB)的艺术和人文研究在地方、地区、国家和国际社会中具有独特的作用，并跨越了AHRC的学科范围。大都会大学利用AHRC的资助，在关键领域进行了能力建设和社区驱动的成果，例如，参与社会设计；电影、屏幕和档案实践；可持续的互联数字未来；流行文化和文化复兴；物质历史、视觉文化和文化记忆。IAA将被用来发展一种文化，使有效和雄心勃勃的艺术和人文知识交流和影响通过能力、能力和技能发展来实现，借鉴我们在该领域已有的专门知识，但也参与外部最佳做法方案。这一IAA将以一种变革性的方式将我们的研究专业知识应用于更多迫切需要的领域，并将利用遗留项目和资金的战略投资来帮助维持轨道。它将帮助建立新的途径，利用新旧网络、关键文化资产和跨学科机会，释放潜力并支持多个应用阶段。这将有助于我们实现改善机会获取和平等的目标。IAA模式将在更大的规模上支持我们独特的研究影响倡议的交付，为更广泛的合作伙伴和部门提供额外价值。这一扩张的一个关键优先事项是使我们的新老伙伴能够在大流行后的背景下创新和再生。围绕经济和文化复苏的道德责任是该基金的核心优先事项。IAA还将支持我们的早期职业研究人员(ECR)成为各自领域的创新领导者。IAA将有助于：支持在大华大学过去擅长的领域实施更多的项目，例如在边缘化社区建立全球倡议；发展艺术和人文学科与其他学科之间的联系，如环境科学、产品设计和工程；保持和扩大与地区文化部门的联系；支持关键增长领域的发展，例如可持续性和数字包容性；培育新的领域，例如净零倡议、商业化和创新机会以及专注于艺术和卫生的项目。IAA将采取三条线的方法来实现我们的目的和目的。将支持研究人员在当地工作，并将他们的工作提升到国家和国际社会，在一系列部门工作。STRAND 1是一项雄心勃勃的年度能力建设系列活动，专为艺术和人文研究人员量身定做，并与社会科学和科学相联系的跨学科活动相结合。这项计划将提高员工的技能和技能，并确保研究人员完全有能力在复杂的全球环境中应用他们的研究。Strand 2将利用UOB在UKRI资助下开发和验证的Ignite合作模式。Ignite试点是一个原型方案交付模式，旨在扩大与社区-大学伙伴关系的工作，以逐步改变与当地和全球挑战有关的活动。该模式结合了种子和催化剂资金，以及共同创建的社区研究和影响活动。Strand 3是一个响应(自下而上)和挑战引领(自上而下)的双流影响基金，将邀请以合作伙伴关系/联合制作为核心的研究项目申请。

The University of Brighton's (UoB) arts and humanities research has a distinct role within local, regional, national, and international communities and spans the AHRC disciplinary remit. UoB has built capacity and community-driven outcomes in key areas using AHRC funding, e.g. participation in social design; film, screen and archive practices; sustainable connected digital futures; popular culture and cultural regeneration; material histories, visual cultures, and cultural memory. The IAA will be used to develop a culture that enables effective and ambitious arts and humanities knowledge exchange and impact via capacity, capability and skills development drawing experience from our established expertise in the area, but also engaging with external best practice programmes. This IAA will apply our research expertise in a transformational way to more areas of critical need and will help sustain trajectories using legacy projects and the strategic investment of funds. It will help build new pathways, using old and new networks, key cultural assets and interdisciplinary opportunities, to release potential and support multiple stages of application. This will contribute to our aim to improve access and equality of opportunity. The IAA model will support the delivery of our distinctive research impact initiatives on a much greater scale, providing additional value for a wider range of partners and sectors. A key priority of this expansion is to enable our partners, old and new, to innovate and regenerate in a post-pandemic context. The ethical responsibility around economic and cultural recovery is a core priority for this fund. The IAA will also support our Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to become innovative leaders in their fields. The IAA will enable the following: support the delivery of a much larger set of projects in areas that UoB has excelled in in the past, e.g. building global initiatives in marginalised communities; develop the links between arts and humanities and other disciplines, e.g. environmental sciences, product design and engineering; sustain and expand the links with regional cultural sectors; support the development of key growth areas, e.g. sustainability and digital inclusion and nurture new areas, e.g. net zero initiatives, commercialisation and innovation opportunities and projects focusing on arts and health. The IAA will take a three-strand approach to deliver our aims and objectives. Researchers will be supported to work locally, as well as upscale their work to national and international communities, working across a range of sectors. Strand 1 is an ambitious annual series of capacity building activities tailored to arts and humanities researchers combined with interdisciplinary activities linking to the social sciences and the sciences. This programme will upskill and reskill staff and ensure researchers are fully equipped to apply their research in complex global environments. Strand 2 will capitalise on the Ignite partnership model developed and proven by UoB with UKRI funding. The Ignite pilot was a prototype programme delivery model to scale-up work with community-university partnerships to create a step change in activities in relation to local and global challenges. The model combines seed and catalyst funding and co-created community research and impact activities. Strand 3 is a two stream, responsive (bottom up) and challenge-led (top down), impact fund that will invite applications for research projects with partnership/co-production as core to the proposal.
