Academic Beneficiaries

Please summarise how your proposed research will contribute to knowledge, both within the UK and globally.

Academic Beneficiaries (4000 characters max) should address the following questions

• 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

What other researchers, both within the UK and elsewhere are likely to be interested in or to benefit from the proposed research.

Please look broadly beyond narrow research field. UKRI recognises that in generating new knowledge, a cross-disciplinary or single-disciplinary approach may be the most appropriate. Applicants are asked to clearly state their chosen approach and provide justification for that choice.

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 in the investigator’s immediate professional circle, 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 work

• show how the research will benefit other researchers (this might include methodological or theoretical advances)

• identify 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 any collaboration with other researchers and their role in the project

Note: The Academic Beneficiaries section may be published to demonstrate the impact of Research Council funded research.  Please ensure confidential information is not included in this section.
