• What do you expect to happen at the end/what might the outcomes be? For example, an event drawing together a range of people to discuss, or use making to explore, a particular topic; solidifying a research question and approach for a research funding bid; a critical analysis of what additional knowledge and skills might be required for a research project; or a literature review involving a number of disciplines to identify a gap in the research.

The research project

• Identify clear research questions about the area you want to explore and how you will go about answering them
• What new knowledge will the project create and why does it matter? Is the research novel? Does it address a gap in the research/knowledge landscape? Has this work been done before? From a broad disciplinary base, has the wider context for the research been explored and explained?
• Set out a clear, detailed and realistic plan for the co-produced research AND critical making elements in the design, delivery and the outputs (How will you do this? Who will you be working with, where from, how many people will you engage, how will you engage them?)
• How does your project help understand the complexities of our time?

The team

• Clearly explain the interdisciplinary aspects of the project
• What knowledge and expertise do the different members of your interdisciplinary and/or co-produced team bring? Why do you want to work together?
• Who will benefit from the outputs of the project?
• We welcome broad interdisciplinary teams that include a range of disciplines and approaches. Given the focus of Brigstow Institute we expect to see arts/humanities researchers and/or social scientists as key members of interdisciplinary research teams.

What will you be making together?

• Consider a good mix of both research and creative/community outputs. Will they be co-produced? How will the purely creative outputs be captured?
• Outputs can take any and many forms and we are keen that teams think creatively about how to communicate their findings, whether that be the process or a specific output.
• This is an opportunity to think creatively. Both research and creative outputs are all acceptable outputs for the research project but we strongly encourage all teams to make something and document the process, reflecting Brigstow’s requirement for ‘critical making’ as a team. Examples include: research papers, conferences, book chapter, case studies, blog posts, toolkits, artefacts, texts, performances, exhibitions, objects, workshops, interventions and applications for further funding.

Being equitable

• How does your team intend to be equitable in carrying out the research?
• How will your team deal with potential power imbalances, both within the team and/or between the team and participants?
• How you will ensure that decisions in the team are made in a timely and fair way?
