Consultations & Proposal Support
The Public Engagement & Research Impacts team can support your grant proposals and public impact research projects.
Project Consultations & Matchmaking
The Public Engagement & Research Impacts team connects scholars from all disciplines to campus and external partners to help support their public impact ambitions. We offer 1:1 or small-team consultation on:
- Ideation
- Project design and development
- Articulating a public impact identity
- Identifying and connecting with appropriate partners
- Defining metrics and indicators for public impact of research
- Translating research effectively for public audiences
In addition, the PE+RI team can connect you with possible unit collaborators across campus, help identify internal and extramural funding opportunities for public engagement & research impacts projects, and highlight training and professional development opportunities.
Proposal Support: Societal Impacts of Research
In partnership with the Research Development & Proposal Services team, the Public Engagement & Research Impacts team consults with faculty seeking extramural funding on articulating the potential societal impact (or “broader impacts”) of their research.
