This IAA will provide us with the opportunity to showcase all the research and impact innovations across the social sciences at Stirling to catalyse our strengths in Ageing and Dementia across a wider group of 'life course' scholarship and other areas of significant strength including in sustainability, climate change and just transitions; improving health, wellbeing and social care; improving public services through enhanced engagement with policy makers and service providers, data analysis for effective decision making. Through this IAA, our Mission Oriented 'Research for Impact' strategy will build on this expertise in translational research, however, we will also introduce a greater emphasis on collaborations with the business and the innovation-focused community. We will build on the valued-added partnerships developed during a wide range of our UKRI and other funded projects that targeted specific stakeholders to translate our research into tangible outcomes. The IAA we will allow us to capitalise on our strong foundation in interdisciplinary research to further our impact with the private sector, particularly working with commercialisation-experienced natural science colleagues at Stirling to stimulate the growth in interdisciplinary commercialisation activities led by and involving Social Scientists.To achieve the primary aims and objectives of our Stirling Social Sciences IAA, the funding will be used to support five inter-related activities for the enhancement of Knowledge Exchange, Impact and commercialisation skills: (1) Interdisciplinary 'Research with Impact' Incubation events. Purpose: Raise the profile of the IAA, including the IAA training, capacity building, funding, public engagement opportunities and introduce Interdisciplinary 'Research with Impact' Incubation events to stimulate interdisciplinary team building and stimulate engagement with IAA activities and opportunities. (2) 'Research for Impact' Training and Capacity Building Programme will include four inter-related programmes: (i) Putting Data Analysis at the heart of decision making; (ii) Enhancing public services through facilitating Mission Orientated Policy Engagement, (iii) Rising to the Co-Production Challenges of a 'Research for Impact' Research Culture; and (iv) Extending 'Research for Impact' into Commercialization.(3) 'Research for Impact' Funding Programme, will include a three tier funding mechanism: (i) Fast-track Impact Innovation Scheme; (ii) Strategic Impact Innovation Scheme; (iii) People Exchange Scheme. All Projects, events, placements and secondments funded under this Funding Programme will be assessed and evaluated against their equity, inclusivity, sustainability, their interdisciplinarity, their responsiveness and their potential legacy in terms of introducing innovations that will make a positive change in the world(4) 'Research for Impact' Engagement Festivals. We will showcase the approaches and outcomes from our IAA funded Hackathons, Policy Labs, Serious Games and Innovation Crucibles and other activities through support a series of public engagement festivals over the lifetime of the IAA award. (5) Annual 'Research for Impact' Awards Programme. We will introduce, (i) a high-profile Lecture Programme where we will invite Mission Oriented Research trailblazers to share their experiences of collaborating on interdisciplinary and cross-sector projects responding to grand challenges. (ii) Our internal annual Impact Innovation Awards linked to IAA activities. We will offer award prizes in the following Areas of Research for Impact Innovation: Innovative co-production; Innovative policy engagement, innovative public engagement, and innovations in the commercialisation of impacts. Funding will be ring-fenced across all 5 areas of activities for PGRs, ECRs and MCRs to accelerate the pipeline of 'career young' researchers with enhanced impact, partnership development and commercialization skills.

这个IAA将为我们提供机会，展示斯特林社会科学领域的所有研究和影响创新，在更广泛的“生命历程”奖学金和其他重要优势领域，包括可持续性、气候变化和公正过渡，催化我们在老龄化和痴呆症方面的优势；改善健康、福祉和社会关怀；通过加强与决策者和服务提供者的接触，通过数据分析促进有效决策，改善公共服务。通过IAA，我们以使命为导向的“影响研究”战略将建立在转化研究的专业知识之上，然而，我们也将更加强调与企业和创新社区的合作。我们将在广泛的UKRI和其他针对特定利益相关者的资助项目中建立增值伙伴关系，将我们的研究转化为切实的成果。IAA将使我们能够利用我们在跨学科研究方面的强大基础，进一步扩大我们对私营部门的影响，特别是与斯特林在商业化方面经验丰富的自然科学同事合作，以刺激由社会科学家领导和参与的跨学科商业化活动的增长。为达致斯特灵社会科学研究资助计划的主要目的和目标，拨款将用于支持五项相互关联的活动，以加强知识交流、影响力和商业化技能：(1)跨学科“有影响力的研究”孵化活动。目的：提升IAA的形象，包括IAA培训、能力建设、资助、公众参与机会，并引入跨学科“有影响力的研究”孵化活动，以促进跨学科团队建设，并促进对IAA活动和机会的参与。(2)“影响研究”培训和能力建设方案将包括四个相互关联的方案：(i)将数据分析置于决策的核心；（ii）通过促进以使命为导向的政策参与来加强公共服务；（iii）迎接“为影响而研究”的研究文化的合作挑战；（iv）将“影响研究”扩展到商业化。(3)“影响研究”资助计划，将包括三层资助机制：(i)快速影响创新计划；（ii）策略性影响创新计划；（iii）交换人才计划。本资助计划资助的所有项目、活动、实习和借调都将根据其公平性、包容性、可持续性、跨学科性、响应性和在引入创新方面的潜在遗产进行评估和评估，这些创新将对世界产生积极的影响。我们将在IAA奖的整个生命周期内，通过支持一系列公众参与节日，展示IAA资助的黑客马拉松、政策实验室、严肃游戏和创新问答等活动的方法和成果。(5)年度“影响力研究”奖励计划。我们将引入(i)一个备受瞩目的讲座计划，邀请使命导向研究的开拓者分享他们在跨学科和跨部门项目上的合作经验，以应对重大挑战。（ii）与IAA活动相关的内部年度影响力创新奖。我们将在以下影响创新研究领域提供奖项：创新合作生产；创新的政策参与，创新的公众参与，创新的影响商业化。将为pgr、ecr和mcr的所有5个活动领域提供资金，以加速培养具有更强影响力、伙伴关系发展和商业化技能的“职业青年”研究人员。
