Academic Beneficiaries (AHRC only)
Collaborative Doctoral Awards scheme only
Please summarise how the proposed research will contribute to knowledge, both within the UK and, if applicable, globally.
Academic Beneficiaries (4000 characters max) should address the following questions:
- What new and original contribution will this project make to knowledge and understanding in the relevant field
- The intellectual benefits of the doctoral research being carried out in a collaborative framework and why it is important in relation to any existing work in the field
- How the research will benefit other researchers in the field
- Identify whether there are any academic beneficiaries in other disciplines and, if so, how they will benefit and what will be done to ensure that they benefit
- Are there other researchers both within the UK and elsewhere who are likely to be interested in or benefit from the proposed research, thinking broadly beyond the narrow research field
List any academic beneficiaries from the research and give details of how they will benefit and how the results of the proposed research will be disseminated. Specific beneficiaries might be:
- Researchers already in the field carrying out similar or related research
- Researchers in other disciplines
- Researchers in other academic institutions (in the UK and/or international)
Also describe the relevance of the research to beneficiaries:
- Identify the potential academic impact of the proposed project
- Show how the research will benefit other researchers (this might include methodological or theoretical advances)
- Identify expected outputs and outcomes and whether the research will produce data or materials of benefit to other researchers, and explain how these will be stored, maintained and made available
- Explain, where applicable, any collaboration with other academic researchers and their role in the project
