UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (Phase 2)

这项申请是四年的过渡资金，五年的初始资金从ESRC和AHRC（与约瑟夫朗特里基金会（JRF））。英国住房证据合作中心（CaCHE）是一个住房证据中心，借鉴了一系列社会科学学科。最初的住房优先是承认多项政策和实践需要严格的证据。对CaCHE的战略证据和研究的持续需求来自持续和新出现的问题，通常被称为“住房危机”。CaCHE将保留其“中心辐射”网络，其行政核心位于格拉斯哥，并在苏格兰、北方爱尔兰、威尔士和西南部、北部和中部以及伦敦、东部和东南部的所有5个次国家知识交流中心都有实体存在。该中心的工作现在将更加集中，围绕四个（而不是七个）主题（经济、环境、不平等和地方）组织。管理团队将负责整体战略、运营交付、协调、数据导航、研究和KE。每月举行会议，三名学者（吉布，沃特金斯和白色）的执行团队将由知识交流和通信（威廉姆森）的高级非学术领导补充，加上一个全职的方案经理，KE和通信，以及行政支持人员。更广泛的管理团队将至少每三个月召开一次会议，并涉及主题和跨领域工作链领导（Marsh、Stephens、奥福德、Payne、Leishman、罗宾逊、Preece、奥布莱恩和Ambrose）。Blair、Munro和Serin将进一步为主题提供CI投入。CaCHE将继续对资助者团体和国际咨询委员会负责（并每年向主要研究组织报告）。主要的联盟成员是格拉斯哥大学和谢菲尔德大学，以及特许住房协会。还有来自布里斯托、卡迪夫、谢菲尔德哈勒姆、阿尔斯特和南澳大学的捐款。该联盟在区域和国家一级有一份很长的机构和个人合作者名单，我们的活动将得到“实物”支持，并通过KE Hub结构（包括危机，无家可归影响中心和HQN等）提供直接捐款。我们的联盟还制定了具体的项目计划，并对ESRC的投资进行了补充：例如城市大数据中心、CDRC、白色玫瑰社会科学DTP为CaCHE 2提出的工作计划结合了CacHE 1的成功经验和吸取的经验教训，以及反映自2017年以来住房系统发展的更新议程。它还考虑到过渡性供资对一个大型财团的影响。CaCHE2在广度和参与者方面必然较小，但在主题和工作包方面也更加集中。这就更加强调了这些优先工作的相关性和重要性。CaCHE2还接受了研究组织为团队提供的战略承诺，并因此寻求通过优先考虑新的外部合作伙伴关系和利用敏捷投标来开发可持续的资金模式，以获得与CaCHE的基本目标一致的新的响应和积极主动的研究机会。在所有的工作中，CaCHE2将寻求继续最大限度地提高这项工作对研究用户的社会和经济影响。它通过重新关注具体的项目影响计划和建立CaCHE网络和通信来做到这一点，但另外继续成功的KE方案，如政策研究员计划，博士暑期学校，并更加强调政策和实践简报，博客，视频和播客。

This application is for four years transitional funding, following five years initial funding from ESRC and AHRC (with Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF)). The UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) was set up to be a housing evidence centre, drawing on a range of social sciences disciplines. The original housing priority was a recognition of multiple policy and practice needs for rigorous evidence. The ongoing need for CaCHE's strategic evidence and research arises from ongoing and newly arising problems, often termed the 'housing crisis'. CaCHE will retain its "hub and spoke" network with its administrative core in Glasgow and a physical presence in all 5 sub-national knowledge exchange hubs in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales & the South West, the North & Midlands, and London, East & South East. The Centre's work will now be more focused and organised around four (not 7) themes (economy, environment, inequalities and place). The management team will be responsible for overall strategy, operational delivery, co- ordination, data navigation, research and KE. Meeting monthly, the executive team of three academics (Gibb, Watkins and White) will be supplemented by a senior non-academic lead on knowledge exchange and communications (Williamson), plus a full-time programme manager, KE and communications, and administrative support staff. A wider management team will meet at least every three months and involve theme and cross cutting work strand leads as well (Marsh, Stephens, Orford, Payne, Leishman, Robinson, Preece, O'Brien and Ambrose).There will be further CI input into themes by Blair, Munro, and Serin. CaCHE will remain accountable to a funders group and an international advisory board (as well as reporting annually to the key Research Organisations). The main consortium members are the Universities of Glasgow and Sheffield, plus the Chartered Institute of Housing. There are also contributions from the Universities of Bristol, Cardiff, Sheffield Hallam, Ulster and South Australia. The consortium has a lengthy list of institutional and individual collaborators at regional and national level and our activity will be supported 'in kind' and by direct contributions working through the KE Hub structure including Crisis, Centre for Homelessness Impact and HQN and several more. Our consortium also has specific project plans with complementary ESRC investments: e.g. Urban Big Data Centre, CDRC, White Rose Social Sciences DTPThe programme of work proposed for CaCHE2 combines what worked well in CacHE1 as well as lessons learned, alongside a refreshed agenda reflecting housing system developments since 2017. It is also takes account of the implications of transitional funding for what was a large consortium. CaCHE2 is necessarily smaller in breadth and participants but also is more focused in terms of themes and work packages. This places an additional premium on the relevance and significance of those work priorities. CaCHE2 also embraces the strategic commitment research organisations are providing for the team and seeking therefore to develop a sustainable funding model by prioritising new external partnership and leveraged agile bidding for new responsive and proactive research opportunities that cohere with CaCHE's fundamental aims. In all of the work CaCHE2 will seek to continue to maximise the social and economic impact that the work has for research users. It does this by both refocusing on specific project impact plans and established CaCHE networking and communications, but additionally continuing with successful KE programmes such as the Policy Fellows scheme, the PhD summer school and a greater emphasis on policy and practice briefings, blogging, video and podcasts.
