Reminder: Community Research Fund additional call

Closing date 3 October!

Invitations for applications are now open for members of the Research Network to bid for funding up to a maximum of £15,000 for projects which involve the co-design and co-production of research with community groups around the legacy of the First World War.

Please note: This is an additional call for funding for community co-production projects that would begin in early 2017 and be complete by 31 December 2017.

Activities supported under this fund should involve substantial engagement in research activities which require a significant input of time and/or other research resources. The Centres are looking to fund high-quality research activities and outputs co-produced by academic researchers and their community partner(s). Proposals which would seek to link across a number of communities, community groups or cultural partnerships will also be welcomed.

Priority in this additional call will be given to projects that diversify engagement in centenary activities, including, for example, engagement with minority or marginalised groups in society, including BAME, and/or projects that seek to uncover hidden narratives or that strengthen the coverage of under-represented or hidden narratives or unheard/disregarded voices relating to the centenary.

Projects must be led by members of the academic research network but must also address needs or opportunities identified and agreed with the community partner(s) and must provide evidence of the support of those partner(s). There is no requirement under this additional call for projects to build on existing HLF projects although connections with HLF projects will be welcomed.
