ESRC Impact Acceleration Account surgery - Streatham

Information

The next deadline for applications for funds from the ESRC Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) is 28 February 2015. IAA funding is intended to support academic involvement in a wide range of projects and relationships with businesses and community-based and cultural organisations, enhancing the impact of social sciences research. There are four funding streams within the IAA, ranging from smaller cultivation and network funding, to larger project and knowledge exchange funds and the 28 February deadline applies to each of these.

There is further information about the IAA on the research toolkit and we would encourage you to take a look at the funding opportunities and guidelines pages.

Who should attend?
