The Impact Fund provides students with the opportunity to engage in impact and knowledge-exchange projects with non-academic partners. The scheme aims to allow students to bring their research to a wider audience and new user groups.
How much can I apply for?
Students can apply for up to £1000 to support impact projects which arise, sometimes unexpectedly, from PhD research. This fund looks to highlight the importance of the impact of Social Science research.
What can I do with the Impact Fund?
Activities are likely to be small-scale but can take any form, be with any partner organisation and in any sector, as long as there is a need for the research. This fund encourages applications with innovation, creativity and experimentation! You can apply as many times as you like; at any stage during your PhD funding period; in groups or individually.
