The Social Sciences Divisional office manages the third ESRC Impact Acceleration Account.

This award scheme is designed to support researchers from University of Oxford and Oxford Brookes University to deliver Knowledge Exchange (KE) projects based on the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals in collaboration with non-academic partners. Inter- or multi-disciplinary collaboration are strongly encouraged. Projects may address one or more of the SDGs, either domestically or internationally.

Unlike with the previous award scheme, this will be an annual call, with 23 February 2024  as the next deadline.

Funding in the region of £15k is available for projects beginning on or after 1 April 2024 and lasting up to 12 months. 

Applications must be submitted through the university IRAMS - Internal Research Award Management System. You need to use your SSO to log into the system and to start an application.

Interested researchers are encouraged to attend a briefing session that will be held online on Monday 15 January 14:00-15:00. Please contact esrciaa@socsci.ox.ac.uk  to book a place or to have an initial discussion about your idea.
