Imperial College London’s Public Engagement team are pleased to announce The Collaboration Kickstarter, a new approach to seed funding research. This pilot project, launching 25 September, aims to support Imperial researchers and community partners to deliver research collaboratively.
Awarding funds of up to £10,000 to a small portfolio of projects, the Kickstarter will support participatory and co-produced approaches to research in which communities can influence the direction that research is taking.
The fund will be open to Expressions of Interest from Imperial researchers as well as from community organisations from 25 September until 25 November 2024, with full proposals required in early January 2025.
If you would like to hear more about the fund you can register for the online information event on 2 October 2024.
If you have an idea for a seed fund project and would like some advice around applying to the fund, you can sign up for a one-to-one conversation with a member of our team.
If you have an idea for a participatory or co-produced research project but are seeking Imperial researchers to collaborate with on an application, you can register for our Community Connection and Collaboration Café on the 9 October 2024 where you can present your idea for a seed fund project and network with potential partners.
