National Security Through Partnership: Building Bridges between Research, Policy & Practice

支持“通过伙伴关系实现国家安全”奖学金的关键问题是：我们如何促进国家安全利益相关者--政策制定者和实践者--与学术界更好地接触？该项目分为两个阶段，有可能重叠，以便取得早期成果：探索(1-4个月)：-通过与政府、学术界和(如果适当)工业界的利益攸关方进行一系列访谈和研讨会，我们将建立对国家安全参与的现有安排的理解和批评；相关的HMG CSA和全球不确定性研究员和首席调查人员将在这里以及帝国安全科学与技术研究所、KCL战争研究部门、圣安德鲁恐怖主义和政治暴力研究中心、达勒姆大学全球安全研究所、伦敦大学学院吉尔·丹多犯罪与安全科学研究所和贝尔法斯特女王大学安全信息技术中心等中心收集意见和建议：我们将收集关于新的和更好的参与机制的想法和建议：例如，从正在发展的社会科学知识中寻求见解。剑桥大学科学与政策中心和商业研究中心；研究海外国家安全盟友--例如美国、荷兰和德国--的替代模式；并学习其他公共服务部门(如DEFRA、BIS、DECC和卫生部)的研究人员所采取的方法；我们希望委托阿伯丁商学院的一名理学硕士学生在Adam Ogilvie-Smith教授的指导下进行一次文献审查；-在本阶段结束时，将编制一份中期报告，作为第一份报告，供政府和学术界的跨部门舆论形成者(包括全球不确定因素计划的主要参与者)使用，这些听众将参加一个研讨会，审议结果并讨论下一步行动；这一讲习班本身将是产生影响、建立网络和建立利益共享社区的早期途径。试点(5-12个月)；根据第一阶段的经验教训和见解，我们的实习研究员将：-至少试验两个试点，寻求提供以下一个或多个好处：o确保研究和培训以问题为基础o通过共同设计、共同制作和联合交付研究将研究专业知识与最终用户联系起来o使最终用户能够支持将早期研究转化为产品和服务；o最终用户和学者之间更具战略性的合作，导致具有共同目标的一致活动；共享水平扫描活动，以识别和帮助最终用户应对新出现的挑战。-评估试点并与更广泛的国家安全网络分享经验教训；一种选择是在剑桥彭布罗克学院的威廉·皮特安全研讨会上讨论这些问题；-在最后的产出中，审查和评估项目，并在最后报告中就“下一步”提出建议，包括申请--如果适当的话--cSAP后续资金，以支持未来的实施。

The key question underpinning the "National Security through Partnership" Fellowship is: how can we promote better engagement between National Security stakeholders - policy-makers and practitioners - and academia? The project divides into two phases, with the possibility of overlap to allow early gains to be made:Exploration (months 1-4):- Through series of interviews and workshops with stakeholders in Government, Academia and (if appropriate) Industry, we will establish an understanding and a critique of the existing arrangements for National Security engagement; relevant HMG CSAs and Global Uncertainties Fellows & Principal Investigators will represent an important source of insight here, as well as such centres as Imperial's Institute for Security Science & Technology, KCL's War Studies Department, St Andrew's Centre for the Study of Terrorism & Political Violence, Durham University's Global Security Institute, UCL's Jill Dando Institute of Crime & Security Science, and the Centre for Secure Information Technologies at Queen's University Belfast.- We will gather ideas and proposals for new and better mechanisms for engagement: seeking insight from social science knowledge being developed in, for instance, Cambridge University's Centre for Science & Policy and Centre for Business Research; looking at alternative models practiced by National Security allies overseas - eg American, Dutch and German; and learning from approaches taken by researchers working other public service sectors (such as DEFRA, BIS, DECC and the Department of Health); we hope to commission a literature review conducted by an MSc student at the Aberdeen Business School, supervised by Professor Adam Ogilvie-Smith;- An interim report will be produced as the first output, at the end of this phase, for a cross-section of opinion-formers in Government and Academia (including key players in the Global Uncertainties Programme), and this audience will be represented at a Workshop that considers the findings and discusses next steps; this workshop itself will represent an early pathway to impact, building networks and establishing a community with shared interests.Piloting (months 5-12); informed by lessons & insights from Phase 1, our Placement Fellow will:- Trial at least two pilots, which seek to deliver one or more of the following benefits: o ensuring that research & training is problem-based o linking research expertise to end-users through co-design, co-production and co-delivery of research o enabling end-users to support the transformation of early-stage research into products and services o more strategic co-operation between end-users and scholars leading to aligned activities with shared goals o shared horizon-scanning activities that identify and help end users to respond to emerging challenges.- Evaluate pilots and share lessons with wider National Security networks; one option is to discuss these at a William Pitt Security Seminar at Pembroke College, Cambridge;- In a final output, review and evaluate the project and produce recommendations for "Next Steps" in a final report, to include an application - if appropriate - for follow-up funds for CSaP to support future implementation.
