Impact Fund application form

The fund has been created to support impact arising from research projects and activities.

Before completing this form, please discuss your project with your departmental impact coordinator and ensure that your Pure profile, including impact activities, is up to date.

Activities must be completed by 31 July of the current academic year.

Applications for up to £1000 will be considered by the KE and Impact Director and Departmental Impact Coordinator on a rolling basis throughout the year (unless funds are fully allocated). Applications for more than £1000 will be considered by committee following deadlines of 1 August, 1 December and 1 April each year.

First-time applicants should clearly show how proposed activities will benefit non-academic audiences. Applicants who have received funding previously must justify how additional activities will enhance the impact created.

For requests of over £2000 please consider applying for a CAHSS KE and Impact Grant:

Applicant details
Subject area
Project details
Please describe the main activities of your project, the intended non-academic partners and users, and how they will benefit (100 words)
Impact projects must be linked to completed, ongoing or new research completed in part or wholly by staff in LLC. Please describe your key research questions, key relevant published outputs, and details of any grants already received linked to this project (can be bullet-point lists).
Please give details of the activities that you are seeking funding for, and how these will help you to achieve your objectives. Please also provide an outline of the timeline for these activities, noting that all activities funded by the LLC Impact Fund awards must be completed before 31 July. 

If you have existing partnerships in place, note them in this section, along with any other non-academic audiences you hope to reach with your activities. 

What change(s) do you hope will arise from your activities?

Evidence might include questionnaires, references to the research in written documents by partner organisations and decision-makers, testimonials from users, and can include quantitative or qualitative measures. Impact is likely to be generated both during and after activities are completed, so where appropriate please outline how evidence will be captured beyond the end of the activities themselves.
Please provide a breakdown of the budget. Please note that funds unspent by the end of the financial year (31 July) cannot be carried over.
