Public Engagement Competition

LAHP funded students are eligible to enter LAHP’s Public Engagement Competition. Submissions should be for a PE project directly related to their primary research or in collaboration with other students around a mutual interest resonant with their research. The submission can take one of the following forms:

  • Documentation or a sample of an individual piece of public engagement in relation to LAHP-funded research;
  • Documentation or a sample of a group/ collaborative project undertaken in response to the training sessions;
  • A detailed proposal of 3-5 pages for a planned public engagement project related to LAHP-funded research.

All submissions must also be accompanied by a one-page project summary that explains how the PE activity relates to and/or extends your research; which particular audience you wanted to reach and why; and what impacts you anticipate it having.

Submissions will be assessed on the following criteria:

  • Clarity of the project, including aims and outcomes
  • Link to current LAHP research
  • Specificity of target audience, and how the project hopes to reach these groups
  • Appropriateness of engagement method for aims and public
  • Quality of evaluation plans.

The deadline for applications is 7th May 2024 and the winner and runners-up will be announced at LAHP’s Annual Research Day on 14th May 2024. The first prize will be £200 in book tokens, with two runner-up prizes of £50 in book tokens.
