Open Research Accelerator Fund

The Open Research Accelerator Fund is supporting the development of Open Research practice at The University of Manchester.
Deadline for applications: 3 June 2022
The majority of awards are expected to be made under £2000 with larger sums considered on a case by case basis. All funds must be spent by the end of this financial year.
The Office hopes to be able to fund projects in two broad areas:
- Innovations in open practice
- Developing Open Research skills
Proposal submissions
Proposals should be submitted via email to openresearch@manchester.ac.uk and consider the following areas:
- A breakdown of the estimated costs of the project/activity
- Will the Open Research Accelerator fund be covering these in full, or will other sources of funding also be used?
- What the project will achieve and how this relates to open research
- How the project will contribute to meaningful and sustainable culture change at The University of Manchester
- Describe any sustainable benefits that will continue after the project is completed
- In the case where an application is being made for training, describe knowledge will be shared with the open research community at Manchester.
