The University of Manchester UKRI AHRC Impact Acceleration Account

我们AHRC IAA的总体战略目标是支持大学在AHRC职权范围所涵盖的领域内与KE，影响和创新相关的愿景，抱负和优先事项，确保大学对大曼彻斯特地区，北部和更广泛的国家的经济，社会和文化转型做出主要贡献。提议的活动和机制旨在通过实现以下四个机构层面的战略目标来实现这一总体目标，这些目标将成为曼彻斯特大学举行的所有IAAs的核心；1)影响：通过知识交流活动加速和加强研究成果的转化，最大限度地为区域和国家的社会和环境带来经济、社会、文化、健康和福利效益。2)用户参与：通过积极发展和加强互利的合作项目和战略伙伴关系，促进跨学科和部门的知识交流和影响，加强用户参与。3)影响途径：提供一系列灵活、反应迅速和连贯的知识交流机制，支持研究成果从早期阶段通过影响管道所需阶段的进展，直到它们准备好向用户采用、商业化或政策实施方向发展。4)支持雄心：通过在学术和早期职业研究人员社区中发展和嵌入KE和影响技能，能力和能力，培养鼓励，实现和授权雄心勃勃的知识交流和影响活动的文化和环境。虽然AHRC IAA将用于利用AHRC职权范围内活动的研究成果，但大学希望支持来自其他理事会的IAAs，这些理事会将支持与其他研究理事会职权相关的活动，并将为多学科项目和跨理事会资助项目提供更大的机会。在这个IAA中，挑战领导跨学科的KE和影响活动将在艺术和人文学科中推广，并与其他UKRI IAA学科合作。将促进艺术和人文学科研究与一系列其他部门之间的知识交流，例如收藏的数字方法、社会参与和协作的遗产实践、环境人文学科、全球不平等以及艺术健康和福祉，特别是关注医学人文学科和心理健康。此外，其他支持资金，如ERDF和地方增长基金，创新英国计划（KTP， ISCF）， HEIF和后续基金，将尽可能地提供一个综合和一致的基础设施。这将为大学提供一个框架，以便在可利用的知识出现和确定需求的地方利用其所有研究理事会资助的产出。

The overall strategic aim of our AHRC IAA, is to support the University's vision, ambitions, and priorities in relation to KE, impact and innovation, in the domains covered by the AHRC remit, ensuring that the university is a major contributor to the economic, social, and cultural transformation of the Greater Manchester region, the North and the country more widely. The activities and mechanisms proposed have been designed to achieve this overall aim, through the delivery of the following four institutional level strategic objectives, which will be at the heart of all IAAs held at The University of Manchester; 1) Impact: To accelerate and enhance the translation of research outputs through knowledge exchange activities to maximise economic, social, cultural, health and wellbeing benefits for society and the environment, both regionally and nationally. 2) User Engagement: To strengthen user engagement by proactively developing and enhancing mutually beneficial collaborative projects and strategic partnerships for knowledge exchange and impact across disciplines and sectors. 3) Impact Pathway: To deliver a portfolio of flexible, responsive, and coherent knowledge exchange mechanisms that support the progression of research outputs from an early stage through the required stages of the impact pipeline, to a point at which they are ready to be progressed towards user adoption, commercialisation, or policy implementation. 4) Supporting Ambition: To foster a culture and environment that encourages, enables, and empowers ambitious knowledge exchange and impact activity, through developing and embedding KE and impact skills, capabilities, and capacity amongst the academic and early career researcher communities. Whilst the AHRC IAA will be used to exploit the outcomes of research in activities within the AHRC remit, the University hopes to support IAAs from other councils that will support aligned activities associated with other Research Council remits and will provide a greater opportunity for multidisciplinary projects and cross-council funding of projects. Within this IAA, challenge led interdisciplinary KE and impact activity will be promoted within the arts and humanities and in collaboration with other UKRI IAA disciplines. Knowledge exchange between arts and humanities research and a range of other sectors will be promoted, for example digital approaches to collections, socially engaged and collaborative heritage practices, environmental humanities, global inequalities, and arts health, and wellbeing, particularly focusing on medical humanities and mental health. In addition, other supporting funding such as ERDF and Local Growth Fund, Innovate UK programmes (KTP, ISCF), HEIF and Follow-On Funds will be leveraged wherever possible to provide an integrated and aligned infrastructure. This will provide the University with the framework to exploit all of its research council funded outputs where and when exploitable knowledge emerges and where demand is identified.
