Bath Spa University - AHRC - Impact Acceleration Account

AHRC IAA将使我们能够支持范围更广的具有新研究影响的工作人员，并实现我们的机构影响文化的阶段性变化。它将建立在我们在这一领域所做的投资的基础上，并补充我们的HEQR种子资金计划。由于反应机会的其他资金来源有限，我们相信，通过IAA的支持，我们可以最大限度地发挥重大研究影响潜力，特别是在以下领域：-创意产业，重点是中小企业和微型企业；-基于地点的伙伴关系方法；-解决联合国的可持续发展目标(SDGs)AHRC IAA将建立在AHRC在北卡罗来纳州立大学职权范围内卓越研究的基础上，包括：艺术和设计；传播、文化和媒体研究；英语语言和文学；地理和环境(包括文化地理和环境人文)；历史；以及音乐和表演艺术。我们提出了一套灵活的方法，使我们能够在一系列层面上加速A&H研究的影响。这些活动旨在利用艺术和人文研究提供的特定类型的影响机会，并支持可能的非学术利益相关者；我们将支持研究人员利用工作中出现的机会，并确保非学术合作伙伴的时间得到适当的报酬。例如，与更传统的商业机会相比，创造性的商业化合作伙伴关系可能处于劣势，我们处于有利地位，可以支持微型初创企业和创意创业者迈出第一步。作为一个支持创造性研究方法的机构，我们将利用我们的机构知识和专业知识，在整个开发影响的过程中，不断响应艺术和人文学科研究人员及其非学术合作伙伴的需求。

An AHRC IAA will allow us to support a much broader range of staff with new research impact and achieve a step-change in our institutional impact culture. It will build on the investments that we have made in this area and complement our HEQR seed funding scheme. With limited recourse to other funding for reactive opportunities we believe there is significant research impact potential which we could maximise through the support of an IAA, particularly in the following areas:-with and for the creative industries, with a focus on SMEs and micro businesses;-place-based partnership approaches;-tackling the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)An AHRC IAA will build upon an established base of research excellence in the AHRC's remit area at BSU including: Art and Design; Communication, Cultural and Media Studies; English Language and Literature; Geography and Environment (including cultural geography and environmental humanities); History; and Music and Performing Arts.We propose a suite of flexible approaches which will enable us to accelerate the impact of our A&H research at a range of levels. These activities are positioned to take advantage of the specific types of impact opportunities offered by arts & humanities research and to support likely non-academic stakeholders; we will support researchers to capitalise on opportunities as they arise during their work and ensure that non-academic partners are paid appropriately for their time. For instance, creative commercialisation partnerships can be at a disadvantage compared to more traditional business opportunities and we are well placed to support micro start-ups and creative entrepreneurs with their first steps. We will draw on our institutional knowledge and expertise, as an institution that supports creative research approaches, to remain responsive to the needs of arts & humanities researchers and their non-academic partners throughout the process of developing impact.
