Through our Enhancing Research Culture funding from Research England, we posed a simple but important question to the community:</p> <p><em>"What are the key research culture priorities of the groups your represent, and how would you use up to 拢10K or 拢50K to address them?"</em></p> <p>Internal funding guidance was designed to be inclusive, actively encouraging leadership from underrepresented groups within research. Through this call, we also created a platform for dialogue, enabling the sharing and refinement of both our vision for research culture and that of the community. Comprehensive support was provided to refine initial proposals, fostering alignment with sector-wide priorities and enhancing their potential to deliver meaningful benefits and lasting impact.</p> <p>To date, we have supported <a href="2022-23-projects/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">over 100 projects<i class="new-window-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link opens in a new window"></i><span class="sr-only">Link opens in a new window</span></a>, led by diverse teams that include PGRs, technicians, research enablers, and researchers across all career stages.

In addition, we offer tailored initiatives, such as a comprehensive<a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/lmd/research-active-staff/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> researcher induction<i class="new-window-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link opens in a new window"></i><span class="sr-only">Link opens in a new window</span></a> and a <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/services/lmd/research-active-staff/ras-dev-opportunities/ras-career-development" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Research Leadership programme<i class="new-window-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link opens in a new window"></i><span class="sr-only">Link opens in a new window</span></a>, which equip individuals at all career stages with the skills to lead and drive innovation.</p> <p style="text-align: start;">Warwick has been a proponent of the <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/research/technicians/ourtechniciancommitment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Technician's Commitment<i class="new-window-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link opens in a new window"></i><span class="sr-only">Link opens in a new window</span></a> since its inception and a Warwick Team is currently leading the <a href="https://itss.org.uk/tsn/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">UK Technology Specialist Network <i class="new-window-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link opens in a new window"></i><span class="sr-only">Link opens in a new window</span></a>which provides training and development opportunities for research technical professional colleagues.</p> <p style="text-align: start;">Our research aims to tackle society鈥檚 most complex challenges and to deliver meaningful impact through collaboration with non-academic partners. To support this ambition, we have established programmes such as the <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/research/spotlights/society-culture/pgrcompetition/abstractbooklet2024.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spotlights<i class="new-window-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link opens in a new window"></i><span class="sr-only">Link opens in a new window</span></a>, which build capacity in interdisciplinary research, and the <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/research/supporting-talent/impact-academy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Impact Academy<i class="new-window-link" aria-hidden="true" title="Link opens in a new window"></i><span class="sr-only">Link opens in a new window</span></a>, which strengthens our ability to deliver transformative research outcomes.</p> <p style="text-align: start;">Our Research Culture work has led to the creation of the Researcher Training Working Group, a community of practice bringing together colleagues across the university with responsibility for researcher development at departmental or institutional levels.
