Humanities Research Council (AHRC) are delighted to be working in partnership with the <a href="https://arma.ac.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Association of Research Managers and Administrators (ARMA)</a> to deliver a multifaceted Research Engagement Programme (REP) for academic libraries.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The programme consists of a tailored cohort training programme, open events, case studies, and resources to support colleagues working across the academic library community to develop their research confidence, skills and capabilities. The programme is open to colleagues working within both RLUK and non-RLUK member institutions, and details of its various elements are outlined below.</span></p> <h3><strong>Context</strong></h3> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The RLUK-AHRC Research Engagement Programme (REP) is a direct response to the findings of a collaborative scoping study, commissioned by RLUK in partnership with the AHRC, and undertaken by research consultancy, Evidence Base, across January-June 2021. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The scoping study explored the role, and potential role, of research and academic libraries as partners in, and leaders of, academic and scholarly research. This included colleagues working across a wide variety of professions and disciplines. The scoping study made a series of far reaching recommendations, including the need for direct investment in the research capacity and capabilities of libraries.

It will provide participants with an overview of the academic funding landscape, offer a tailored programme of events, activities, and mentoring opportunities to guide them through making a funding application, and enable them to share this knowledge within their institutions and with the wider library community (via taking a “train-the-trainer” approach).</span></p> <p>The scheme is open to colleagues working within any unit or department that sits <strong>within a research or academic library</strong> which belongs to a recognised UK Higher Education Institution (HEI), Independent Research Organisation (IRO), or is a member of Research Libraries UK (RLUK).</p> <p>The scheme is open to both RLUK and non-RLUK member institutions, and the programme welcomes applications from individuals of all backgrounds and career stages.
