Why get involved?
The Get Involved Awards are a genuine opportunity for local community groups to work with Plymouth researchers to co-design project ideas and benefit from the resultant research that addresses issues and or opportunities effecting them.
Objectives of the Awards are to:
- Help communities solve problems
- To create partnerships between researchers and communities
Applications can be made under the following themes:- Environment
- Marine
- Arts and heritage
- Health and well being
All community groups will be matched with academic researchers and receive facilitation support from our team throughout the project. Community organisations can better evidence ways of working, gain new skills in research and analysis and use the evidence to strengthen future funding applications.
The successful Get Involved Awards winners and their completed research projects will be presented as part of a celebration event in December 2022. We look forward to receiving your Expression of interest
