Impact Funding

Funding administered by the RIS Impact Team

Achieving sustained and far-reaching impact is, often, not a straightforward journey and requires engagement activities with a range of different non-academic stakeholders, that complement and build upon each other. If, in preparation for your impact funding application, you would like to discuss any engagement ideas and develop a detailed engagement plan, please contact Sandra Appleby-Arnold, Head of Engagement with Research, on [email protected].
