Our intention is to learn more about what’s possible within community/researcher collaboration, and understand more about how this has been enabled through these partnerships.

Our ambition is to generate evidence which can be used by projects and The Ideas Fund team to influence funders, policy makers, universities and others, to adopt community-led approaches.
