Our timeline

Thrive is a two-year project that will unfold over four stages. It will involve engagement with a wide mix of stakeholders.

The stages

The project can be broken down into four stages:

  1. Identify best practice examples of teamwork and co-develop a team-led model
  2. Pilot the team-led approach for building inclusive research teams
  3. Collaborate with the AHRC to identify the processes, systems and structural changes required by funder and HEIs to support team-led models
  4. Share the findings through active engagement.

Between October 2023 and March 2024, we will be seeking input from stakeholders from across the sector to help us understand the challenges and opportunities for more collaborative team-based research practice and to help shape AHRC’s pilot funding call, due to be launched in Summer 2024.

We will work closely with our stakeholders to understand the challenges and opportunities of teamwork and the scale of the culture change that will be needed to embed the new model.
