There are three primary objectives of the activities proposed in the DCAL Legacy Centre application: Impact Generation; Communication; Capacity Building. (1) Impact Generation. We aim to maximise the impact of the existing DCAL online resources listed below, all of which have been established with previous ESRC funding, by promoting and marketing these resources to the appropriate end-users. The funding will also be used, where necessary, to cover online hosting and service fees associated with each resource. a. DCAL Online Assessment Portal (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/dcal/dcal-portal). Over the last 12 years, DCAL researchers have created and standardised 9 assessments that are designed specifically for use with deaf adults or children, filling a much needed gap in the assessment tools available to practitioners (e.g. teachers, teachers of the deaf, educational psychologists, clinical psychologists and speech and language therapists) and researchers in the field. These tests are now hosted on an online portal. We aim to promote these assessments to practitioners and researchers working with deaf children or adults, who are the end-user groups who benefit from this resource.b. BSL Corpus (https://bslcorpusproject.org/). The BSL Corpus is one of a small handful of online corpora of sign languages worldwide. This online open resource hosts ~125 hours of BSL video data and associated transcriptions from a cross section of the BSL community from 8 different locations across the UK. The BSL Corpus allows documentation of how BSL is actually used, rather than how people have traditionally assumed it is widely used. BSL SignBank is an online BSL dictionary (http://bslsignbank.ucl.ac.uk/dictionary/) which includes signs from the BSL Corpus. The aim is to increase the awareness of these online resources within end user communities: BSL teachers; those running BSL interpreter courses; BSL independent learners; and researchers conducting research in the field of BSL or developing assessments.c. DCAL Research Data Archive (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/digital-collections/collections/dcal) is an online repository of DCAL's research data and associated supporting materials (documentation of procedures, stimuli, etc). We aim to increase awareness of these data and methods that are available for other researchers to use, thus increasing the impact of our research worldwide. (2) Communication: We aim to build-on and extend our excellent history of communication of our research with different groups. We will organise innovative public events that will include a celebration of the 40th anniversary since the first BSL research symposium (Nov 2019) and 2 x DCAL-x events (modelled on TED-x). We will also invest in more online routes to communication - e.g. short lay-summaries of our research publications and other key findings, accessible in English and BSL. (3) Capacity Building: We will continue our mission of capacity building of world-class researchers in the area of deafness, cognition and language - i.e. training new researchers in this field. We aim to consolidate and develop this further, via bursaries and team development. (a) We aim to establish travel bursaries so that deaf researchers can attend training courses that we offer. The aim will be to attract deaf individuals who can go on to study for a degree at UCL in our field. (b) We will also build capacity of our current team members by arranging a series of team development activities in order to ensure that DCAL develops through a time of change and continues to thrive.

DCAL 遗产中心申请中提出的活动有三个主要目标： 产生影响；沟通;能力建设。 (1) 产生影响。我们的目标是通过向适当的最终用户推广和营销这些资源，最大限度地发挥下列现有 DCAL 在线资源的影响，所有这些资源都是由之前的 ESRC 资金建立的。如有必要，这笔资金还将用于支付与每种资源相关的在线托管和服务费用。一个。 DCAL 在线评估门户 (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/dcal/dcal-portal)。在过去的 12 年里，DCAL 研究人员创建并标准化了 9 项专为聋人成人或儿童设计的评估，填补了该领域从业者（例如教师、聋人教师、教育心理学家、临床心理学家以及言语和语言治疗师）和研究人员可用的评估工具急需的空白。这些测试现在托管在在线门户上。我们的目标是将这些评估推广给与聋哑儿童或成人一起工作的从业者和研究人员，他们是从该资源中受益的最终用户群体。 BSL 语料库 (https://bslcorpusproject.org/)。 BSL 语料库是全球少数在线手语语料库之一。该在线开放资源托管约 125 小时的 BSL 视频数据以及来自英国 8 个不同地点的 BSL 社区各个部门的相关转录。 BSL 语料库允许记录 BSL 的实际使用方式，而不是人们传统上认为它被广泛使用的方式。 BSL SignBank 是一个在线 BSL 词典 (http://bslsignbank.ucl.ac.uk/dictionary/)，其中包含来自 BSL 语料库的符号。目的是提高最终用户社区对这些在线资源的认识：BSL 教师；那些开设 BSL 口译课程的人； BSL 独立学习者；以及在 BSL 领域进行研究或开发评估的研究人员。 DCAL 研究数据档案 (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/library/digital-collections/collections/dcal) 是 DCAL 研究数据和相关支持材料（程序文档、刺激等）的在线存储库。我们的目标是提高人们对这些可供其他研究人员使用的数据和方法的认识，从而提高我们的研究在全球范围内的影响力。 (2) 交流：我们的目标是巩固和扩展我们与不同群体的研究交流的优秀历史。我们将组织创新的公共活动，包括庆祝首届 BSL 研究研讨会（2019 年 11 月）以来 40 周年纪念活动和 2 场 DCAL-x 活动（以 TED-x 为蓝本）。我们还将投资更多的在线沟通途径 - 例如我们的研究出版物和其他重要发现的简短摘要，有英语和 BSL 版本。 (3) 能力建设：我们将继续致力于耳聋、认知和语言领域世界一流研究人员的能力建设，即培训该领域的新研究人员。我们的目标是通过助学金和团队发展进一步巩固和发展这一点。 (a) 我们的目标是建立旅行助学金，以便聋人研究人员能够参加我们提供的培训课程。目的是吸引聋哑人继续在伦敦大学学院攻读我们领域的学位。 (b) 我们还将通过安排一系列团队发展活动来增强现有团队成员的能力，以确保 DCAL 在变革时期不断发展并继续蓬勃发展。
