The ESRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) is intended to create impact beyond the academic world by exploiting all social sciences research to shift perceptions and understanding of important issues of the day, and to influence policy and practice.

The type of activities that can be funded include:

  • placements
  • policy or evidence seminars
  • activity to translate research evidence for use by policy makers and practitioners
  • building sustainable relationships with non-academic partners

This call closes at 13:00 on Monday 25 April.

Significant social impact or relationship development must be demonstrated.

All bids must accelerate non-academic impact from social science research. We do not fund further research. Collaborative partners and impact do not need to be UK-based. Awards will be up to £10,000. Awards for secondments will be considered on a case by case basis, subject to an overall secondment budget of £50,000 per annum.
