Participatory Research Seed Fund
Notify Faculty of Intention to Apply by: 16 February 2024
Deadline: 1 March 2024 (12 noon)
The Participatory Research Seed Fund offers awards of up to £4,000 to enable researchers or professional services engagement staff based in any department or unit with the Medical Sciences Division or the Social Sciences Division to undertake a project that supports participatory research.
Example activities this scheme can support include:
- Pilot projects using innovative models and methodologies for participatory research
- The costs of co-produced research
- Public engagement activities that are related to participatory and co-produced research
- Evaluation of co-produced research activities
- Development of case studies of co-produced research, if these are shared widely and used for peer learning
Applicants must hold a contract at either the Social Sciences or Medical Sciences Division. Co-applicants can include researchers, research students or external partners. While the scheme is managed by MSD, proposals to be hosted in the Social Sciences Division do not require a medical element.
How to Apply
Applications must be submitted through the IRAMS system and received by 12noon Friday 1 March. Applicants will be notified in the week commencing 11 March. All funds must be spent by 31 July 2024.
