Arts
Council England Launches New Research Grants Programme 2015-18 The Research Grants Programme 2015-18 will help build on collective knowledge and deepen understanding of the impact of arts and culture and to promote greater collaboration and co-operation between the arts and cultural sector and research partners. The central aims of the Programme are:
· Furthering
our knowledge: Deepening our understanding of the impact and benefits of
arts and culture.
· Increasing
capacity: Promote greater collaboration and co-operation between the
arts and cultural sector and research partners.
· Working
in partnership: Working in partnership with others to build and improve the
evidence base around the impacts of arts and culture.
· Influencing:
Persuade commissioning authorities to invest in culture to bring positive
cultural, social, educational and economic change.
The launch
of this Programme follows findings from an evidence review, The value of arts and culture to
people and society – an evidence review, which identified a gap
in future commissions. The Programme will enable partnerships to explore the
themes in depth and it is expected that findings will be used to demonstrate
to Government and local authorities a better understanding of the impact
investing in culture has on cultural, social, educational and economic
change.The application must be a joint collaboration between an arts and/or cultural organisation and a research partner. The arts and/or cultural organisation must be the lead applicant. Eligible arts and cultural organisations include (but are not limited to):
· Arts
organisations
· Museums
· Libraries
· Music
education hubs
· Local
authority service departments
The
research partner can be an individual, team or organisation with a minimum of
three years’ experience of carrying out cultural, social, educational or
economic research.A total of £700,000 is available for 2015-16, with indicative budgets of £900,000 available for 2016-17 and 2017-18.
