Community Research Networks
The funding will help local areas by investing in organisations which can support the sustainable and equitable involvement of communities in research – who play a crucial role in the production, interpretation and use of research.
The aim of this expression of interest (EoI) competition is to support up to 20 initial collaborations with the potential to form a Community Research Network at the implementation phase.
We want to support organisations with the potential to enable equitable and sustainable forms of community participation in research.
Funding for this EoI phase must be used to support the collaborative development of your application for the implementation phase. This can include:
- building collaborations and partnerships
- convening discussions
- hosting workshops
- engaging communities
- collaborative bid writing
- desk research.
UKRI will manage a support package for all 20 potential network collaborations chosen at the EoI phase. This will include workshops and events to assist in the development of applications for the implementation phase and encourage networking between collaborations.
