Brigstow Institute Funding
Brigstow award funding for new co-designed research projects that are co-produced (valuing all experience and knowledge equally), interdisciplinarity (collaborating with different expertise and skills) and use critical making (making as a method of research).
What are we looking for in a Brigstow project?
- Novelty: addressing a gap in existing knowledge.
- Exploratory: piloting early-stage explorative research.
- Co-produced: drawing on a range of disciplines in the university (interdisciplinarity) and expertise from a diverse range of partners from beyond the university. Projects should be collaborative at all stages of the research process: co-created, co-designed and co-led.
- Radically interdisciplinary: bringing together people with different knowledge, expertise, skills and ideas.
- Creative: valuing creative processes and critical making as part of the research process.
- Equitable: aspiring for equity amongst team members throughout the research process.
