Current opportunities
Impact Stimulator Fund
This scheme is designed to support and stimulate new areas of impact that can then be grown through the Accelerator Fund. The Stimulator Fund will support researchers in capturing immediate opportunities for: translating ideas to practice, external collaboration and co-design; and scoping, testing and evaluating new ideas and interventions. Creative and novel approaches to impact are welcomed. This scheme will provide funds of up to £5,000.
Impact Accelerator Fund
This is aimed at ambitious projects with scalability where the impact has already been tested in a localised setting, or where impact has emerged from existing research projects. The majority of funding will be in a range of £5,000 to £15,000. Funding will support researchers to carry out extended activity to accelerate the impact of their research.
