UWE Bristol has a well-established community of over 100 Arts and Humanities (A&H) scholars, built from competitive investment over the last decade, who have embedded excellent, high-impact research in their practice and are actively engaged in collaborative research with external partners. With our Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) funding from the AHRC, we want to build capacity for impact and KE across UWE, ensuring that A&H led research collaborations feed into the wider UWE impact pipeline. We also want to increase the ease of movement and exchange of expertise between the University and its network of partners. Our IAA programme will enable us to consolidate and develop our research impact and KE strengths.Aims and objectives The aim of this IAA is to enhance and increase the impact of our excellent A&H research base by dedicating funds specifically to its realisation alongside our strong A&H-led KE, community engagement and impact methodologies. To deliver on this aim, our IAA objectives are to:a. Fund a wider range of A&H-led impact projects, including A&H-led interdisciplinary and international projects, and draw together best practice from across UWE to develop a shared 'what works' approach.b. Ensure that collecting impact evidence becomes standard procedure for collaborative engagement in ways that are mutually beneficial. c. Publish an externally facing toolkit and evidence base for any group looking to maximise impacts from local A&H-led research.d. Make a major contribution to the KE and Impact fields, evidencing approaches needed to support A&H-led research collaborations through the impact pipeline and maximise their impacts. e. Ensure that a plurality of approaches, voices and backgrounds are reflected in those we fund, those with whom we broker collaborations and the end-users we consult. Programme of ActivitiesThrough the IAA work, toolkit and supporting evidence we want to show that with the right ecosystem of impact activities, A&H led research can produce meaningful, measurable transformations across economic, social, knowledge and cultural sectors. Our programme of activities will support this as follows:a. Impact Funding Programme The core activity for this IAA programme will be to deliver an impact programme through quality-led impact funding via open internal competitions:Rapid Response Impact Fund - Maximum £5,000. This fund, with a light-touch application process, will be open to all A&H researchers across the University. Impact and Value Realisation Fund - Maximum £10,000. This fund will be open to A&H researchers across the University. It will provide resource for progressing research outputs towards the next stage in the impact pipeline.International Impact Fund. This fund will support projects with international impact potential. The delivery of international-level impacts from an A&H led research base is a strategic priority for UWE and the UK. b. Capability and Culture Programme To maximise engagement with and effectiveness of our Impact Funds, we will build capability and culture through the following activities:Researcher Skills Development - Design and deliver a workshop programme for UWE A&H researchers to upskill on KE, Impact, partnership building, co-design, and deriving value from research and commercialisation. Mentorship Network - Establish a network of mentors who have shown excellent impact from an A&H base, to support researchers in embedding impact in research. Test Novel Approaches and Value Realisation - Impact Pathway projects to test novel approaches to value realisation. This testing will include working with Professional Services and the Faculty of Business and Law to test new contracting approaches, partnership agreement formats and IP approaches with live A&H led impact projects. Best Practice Toolkit - Share current best practice from across UWE and publish a toolkit which will be designed to have international reach.

西英格兰大学布里斯托尔分校拥有一个由 100 多名艺术与人文 (A&H) 学者组成的完善社区，这些学者是在过去十年的竞争性投资的基础上建立起来的，他们将优秀、高影响力的研究融入到自己的实践中，并积极参与与外部合作伙伴的合作研究。借助 AHRC 提供的影响力加速账户 (IAA) 资金，我们希望在 UWE 范围内建设影响力和 KE 能力，确保 A&H 主导的研究合作融入更广泛的 UWE 影响力渠道。我们还希望增加大学及其合作伙伴网络之间的流动和专业知识交流的便利性。我们的 IAA 计划将使我们能够巩固和发展我们的研究影响力和 KE 优势。 目的和目标 本 IAA 的目标是通过专门投入资金以及我们强大的 A&H 主导的 KE、社区参与和影响方法论，专门用于其实现，从而增强和增加我们优秀的 A&H 研究基础的影响力。为了实现这一目标，我们的 IAA 目标是：资助更广泛的 A&H 领导的影响项目，包括 A&H 领导的跨学科和国际项目，并汇集西英格兰大学的最佳实践，制定共享的“有效方法”。确保收集影响证据成为以互惠互利的方式进行协作的标准程序。 c.为任何希望最大限度地发挥 A&H 主导的当地研究影响的团体发布面向外部的工具包和证据库。为 KE 和影响力领域做出重大贡献，证明通过影响力渠道支持 A&H 主导的研究合作所需的方法并最大限度地发挥其影响力。 e.确保多元化的方法、声音和背景反映在我们的资助对象、我们的合作对象以及我们咨询的最终用户中。活动计划通过 IAA 的工作、工具包和支持证据，我们希望表明，通过正确的影响力活动生态系统，A&H 主导的研究可以在经济、社会、知识和文化领域产生有意义的、可衡量的变革。我们的活动计划将支持这一点，如下：影响力资助计划 该 IAA 计划的核心活动是通过公开的内部竞赛以质量为主导的影响力资助来提供影响力计划：快速反应影响力基金 - 最高 5,000 英镑。该基金申请流程简单，将向全校所有 A&H 研究人员开放。影响力和价值实现基金 - 最高 10,000 英镑。该基金将向全校 A&H 研究人员开放。它将为影响力管道下一阶段的研究成果提供资源。国际影响力基金。该基金将支持具有国际影响潜力的项目。 A&H 主导的研究基地产生国际影响力是西英格兰大学和英国的战略重点。 b.能力和文化计划 为了最大限度地提高我们影响力基金的参与度和有效性，我们将通过以下活动来建设能力和文化：研究人员技能开发 - 为 UWE A&H 研究人员设计和提供研讨会计划，以提高 KE、影响力、合作伙伴关系建设、共同设计以及从研究和商业化中获取价值的技能。导师网络 - 建立一个在 A&H 基地表现出卓越影响力的导师网络，以支持研究人员将影响力融入到研究中。测试新方法和价值实现 - 影响路径项目测试新的价值实现方法。该测试将包括与专业服务部门以及商业和法律学院合作，通过 A&H 主导的实时影响项目来测试新的合同方法、合作协议格式和知识产权方法。最佳实践工具包 - 分享整个西英格兰大学当前的最佳实践，并发布一个旨在具有国际影响力的工具包。
