Funding available to early career researchers to enable them to spend up to 13.5 months working with the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).
This scheme offers the opportunity to develop a researcher’s career and enhance their understanding of applying research in policy contexts, through a secondment based with DCMS. It aims to create deeper engagement between academia and policy, and it is expected that the benefits will flow to the wider academic community through fellows’ engagement with their home research organisation, students, and wider research communities.
An AHRC-DCMS policy fellow will:
- Provide research and expert advice on the policy priority areas, including co-designing and delivering research projects and activities
- Engage in knowledge exchange (KE) activities across government and academia
- Build longer-term networks across research and policy.
Fellows will be uniquely positioned to build connections between the policymaking and research communities, as well as to generate and share new knowledge and insights on effective policy collaboration with the wider research community.
