Brigstow Institute Funding
Brigstow supports research and partnerships that are:
- Novel: address a gap in existing knowledge
- Exploratory: early-stage explorative research
- Co-produced: draw upon a range of disciplines in the university (interdisciplinarity) and expertise from a diverse range of partners from beyond the university. Projects and activities should be collaborative at all stages of the research process: co-created, co-designed and co-led
- Radically interdisciplinary: bring together people with different knowledge, expertise, skills and ideas
- Creative: value creative processes and critical making as part of the research process
- Equitable: aspire for equity amongst team members throughout the research process
How does our funding model work?
Overview
Brigstow Institute funding works in year long thematic cycles around a co-produced topic that will emerge from the collective interests of our community. You can be involved in some, or all stages of the process. The cycle is broken up into three stages:
- Stage 1 –Collaboration; a chance to engage with new partners for collaboration and ideation
- Stage 2 – Connections Funding; developing and solidifying ideas, partnerships and plans
- Stage 3 – Exploratory Research Funding; the opportunity to apply for a pot of funding of up to £30,000
What are our current themes?
The research themes for our funding are coproduced with our community responding to the energy and ideas held by you. Find out the scope of our current themes, and how you can become involved:
