UKRI AHRC Impact Acceleration Account

UWE布里斯托尔拥有一个由100多名艺术和人文（A&H）学者组成的完善社区，这些学者在过去十年的竞争性投资中建立起来，他们在实践中嵌入了优秀的，高影响力的研究，并积极参与与外部合作伙伴的合作研究。在AHRC的影响加速账户（IAA）资助下，我们希望在UWE建立影响和KE的能力，确保A&H领导的研究合作能够进入更广泛的UWE影响管道。我们还希望增加大学及其合作伙伴网络之间的行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我们的优势。该IAA的目的是通过专门为其实现提供资金，以及我们强大的A&H主导的KE，社区参与和影响方法，来增强和增加我们优秀的A&H研究基地的影响。为了实现这一目标，我们的目标是：资助更广泛的a&h主导的影响项目，包括a&h主导的跨学科和国际项目，并汇集UWE的最佳实践，以制定共享的“有效”方法。确保以互利的方式收集影响证据成为协作参与的标准程序。c.发布面向外部的工具包和证据基础，以帮助任何希望从当地a&h主导的研究中获得最大影响的团体。为社会科学和影响领域做出重大贡献，通过影响管道证明支持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。e.确保在我们资助的对象、与我们合作的对象以及我们咨询的最终用户中反映出多种方法、声音和背景。活动计划通过IAA的工作、工具包和支持性证据，我们希望表明，通过正确的影响活动生态系统，A&H领导的研究可以在经济、社会、知识和文化部门产生有意义的、可衡量的变革。我们的活动方案将为此提供如下支持：影响资助计划IAA计划的核心活动将是通过公开的内部竞争，通过质量为主导的影响资助，提供一个影响计划：快速反应影响基金-最高5000英镑。该基金采用轻触式申请流程，将向整个大学的所有A&H研究人员开放。影响和价值实现基金-最高10,000英镑。该基金将向整个大学的A&H研究人员开放。它将为推动研究产出进入影响管道的下一阶段提供资源。国际影响基金。该基金将支持具有国际影响潜力的项目。从A&H领导的研究基地交付国际水平的影响是UWE和英国的战略优先事项。b.能力和文化计划为了最大限度地提高我们的影响力基金的参与度和有效性，我们将通过以下活动建立能力和文化：研究人员技能发展-为UWE A&H研究人员设计并提供一个研讨会计划，以提高KE，影响力，伙伴关系建立，共同设计以及从研究和商业化中获得价值。师徒关系网络-建立师徒关系网络，由在A&H基础上表现出卓越影响力的导师组成，以支持研究人员在研究中嵌入影响力。测试新方法和价值实现-影响路径项目测试价值实现的新方法。该测试将包括与专业服务和商业与法律学院合作，在A&H主导的现场影响项目中测试新的合同方法、合作协议格式和知识产权方法。最佳实践工具包-分享UWE目前的最佳实践，并发布一个工具包，该工具包将被设计成具有国际影响力。

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.
