Hit the ground running this academic year with an opportunity to kick-start the policy impact of your research with the Policy|Challenge.
Public Policy|Southampton (PP/S) are offering up to £5,000, plus 12 months project support from PP|S and access to our policy and political networks all with the single aim of getting your work noticed.
Previous winners have said:
“PP|S were crucial to our engagement with stakeholders in the devolution process – coordinating and convening follow-up briefings/meetings where findings from the project were disseminated, and opportunities for further policy-relevant research were explored.” – Will Jennings, Professor of Political Science and Public Policy, Director of the Centre for Citizenship, Globalisation and Governance, Head of Department of Politics & International Relations.
“In addition to the financial support, PP|S have been an essential component in transforming a set of general impacts-ideas into actual, measurable “impact” and the whole experience, whilst high-pressure, has improved my confidence and skills in taking on similar endeavours in future. I wholeheartedly recommend colleagues apply for this opportunity.” – Elselijn Kingma, Associate Professor in Philosophy, University of Southampton.
“PP|S assistance, as well as the funding, was very helpful, knowledgeable and made readily available – and made the dissemination of the underlying research and development of the project happen.” – David Kingdon, Professor of Mental Health Care Delivery/Clinical Services Director (AMH SHFT), University of Southampton.
