Flexible Fund Round 2 – The Research Process
The second round of funding of approximately £317,000 seeks impact-oriented projects advancing knowledge on the lived experience of underrepresented researchers that will pilot and evaluate interventions to create meaningful change in the UK’s research and innovation sector. This round prioritises proposals that focus on the research process. See the figure below identifying the various stages in the research process relating to securing funding and prompting questions about each stage.
The EDI Caucus will have a 3-week call for mandatory expressions of interest, to help EDICa find reviewers, and not delay the timeline following the closing date for submissions. This is a simple MS Form questionnaire asking for a 50-word project summary, 5 key words about the project and a project timeline. Submission of an expression of interest is a requirement before a formal proposal can be submitted as this provides the opportunity for us to offer feedback, to help shape suggestions and to avoid time and energy being invested in proposals which differ significantly from the call.
