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攸关方-政策制定者和从业者-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：勘探（第1-4个月）：通过与政府、学术界和（如果合适的话）工业，我们将建立一个理解和国家安全参与的现有安排的批评;相关的HMG CSA和全球Underwear研究员和首席研究员将代表重要的洞察力来源，以及帝国理工学院安全科学与技术研究所、伦敦大学学院战争研究系、圣安德鲁恐怖主义与政治暴力研究中心、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、以及贝尔法斯特女王大学安全信息技术中心。我们将收集关于新的和更好的参与机制的想法和建议：从剑桥大学科学与政策中心和商业研究中心正在发展的社会科学知识中寻求见解;研究海外国家安全盟友实践的替代模式-例如美国，荷兰和德国;学习其他公共服务部门研究人员的方法（如DEFRA、BIS、DECC和卫生部）;我们希望委托阿伯丁商学院的一名理学硕士学生进行一次文献综述，由亚当·奥格尔维-史密斯教授指导;- 在本阶段结束时，将为政府和学术界各部门的舆论领袖编写一份临时报告，作为第一份产出（包括全球非政府组织方案的主要参与者），这些受众将派代表参加一个研讨会，审议研究结果并讨论今后的步骤;该讲习班本身将代表一个早期的影响途径，建立网络和建立一个具有共同利益的社区。（5-12个月）;从第一阶段的经验教训和见解，我们的安置研究员将告知：-试验至少两个试点，寻求提供一个或多个以下好处：o确保研究和培训以问题为基础o通过共同设计将研究专业知识与最终用户联系起来，合作生产和共同交付研究成果o使最终用户能够支持将早期研究成果转化为产品和服务o最终用户与最终用户之间进行更多的战略合作，用户和学者导致一致的活动与共同的目标o共享地平线扫描活动，确定和帮助最终用户应对新出现的挑战。评估试点项目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;-在最终输出中，审查和评估项目，并在最终报告中提出“下一步”建议，包括申请-如果合适的话-为CSaP提供后续资金，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.
