It takes time to develop research ideas. This is particularly true when research involves interdisciplinary and/or co-produced methods. Brigstow’s Ideas Exchange funding enables the right people to get together to learn from each other and identify shared research interests. The funding is designed to support emerging, interdisciplinary networks and partnerships that are co-designed and co-run with external partners. Up to £1000 is available per Ideas Exchange, although applications up to £2000 will be considered if the proposal is for more extensive activity or, for example, extend the collaboration beyond the UK. We expect to fund between 5 and 10 this year.
Themes
We welcome applications for Ideas Exchanges on any topic related to what it means to be human in the 21st century. Given this focus on human experience/living well, we expect to see arts/humanities researchers and/or social scientists having a key role in interdisciplinary research teams.
Eligibility
Each project team will need one University of Bristol researcher to be the budget holder for the project. We particularly welcome applications from colleagues who have not yet been a PI on a research grant.
What funding is available and what can the funds be used for?
The funds can be used to buy in expertise (for example, you may need to pay an artist or community partner for their time), pay for researchers (both within and external to the university and including research associates and students), hardware costs, consumables (such as the costs for your project team meetings) or travel needed to work together.
