Oxford Policy Engagement Network Fellowships – Call for applications now open, deadline 4 Oct

Each year the University awards a handful of OPEN Fellowships, drawing on its allocation from the Higher Education Innovation Fund. This year, at least £80,000 is available for awards of up to £20,000 to enable recipients to:

• Understand better how research can inform policymaking, and develop the skills to catalyse that process;
• Share evidence with policymakers and support its use in decision-making; and
• Develop and leverage networks and other resources to generate benefits to research, policy and the wider world. 

Potential partners include law-makers at devolved, national or supra-national level; civil service policy professionals and others who support law-makers; statutory bodies with responsibilities that are sectoral (e.g., regulators), regional (e.g. local councils) or subject-matter-related; international or intergovernmental organisations; or non-governmental organisations.  

Researchers at Oxford in any discipline can apply.

If you’re wondering whether this is an opportunity for you, why not take a moment to find out a bit about the experience of current and previous OPEN Fellows?

Deadline: 17:00 4 October 2021
