The Institute for Social Justice is seeking to support research partnerships between York St John University and community-led organisations in the voluntary, charity and social enterprise (VCSE) sector. Our objective is to ensure that research undertaken is relevant and impactful and to conduct research in a more open and democratic manner. By research we mean the gathering of new knowledge that provides evidence to inform delivery and practice. This might include: evidencing impact, market research, case studies, organisational strategies reviews and more.

To better enable this, we are launching a new scheme of Community Research Grants in which VCSE groups are invited to present issues or themes that are important to them and which they would like researching. The Institute for Social Justice will then select a number of these proposals and ‘match’ them with university-based researchers, who would work in partnership with the community group to undertake the research.

In conjunction with Social Vision we are hosting this briefing event to ensure clear understanding of the scheme and its objectives. This will be an opportunity to hear more about the scheme and ask questions. Please book to attend and learn more about this opportunity.
