SLSA support for impact and engagement activities


The SLSA Board suite of support and funding for impact and engagement activities by SLSA members was launched in spring 2022. The SLSA Board offers three ways to support the impact activities of our members.

The three funding streams are:

1. Impact Grants

2. Stream Convenor Impact Funding: this scheme is currently closed.

3. Annual Impact Prize

For details of all impact grantholders, see our roll of honour.


Resources

The Law Commission has kindly made available the PowerPoint presentation and a recording of the recent SLSA/SLS/ALT webinar on Influencing Law Reform: Tips for Effective Engagement with the Law Commission.


Impact Grants

This grants scheme funds impact activities, including public engagement activities. All SLSA members (including PGR students) are eligible to apply for an impact grant of up to £1500. As with all SLSA funding streams, the funds must be administered by the applicant’s research institution. The annual deadline is 31 May.

Note: a proportion of this funding pot is ring-fenced for those in precarious employment.

Note: all applicants must be current members in good standing of the Socio-Legal Studies Association. You can check your membership status here.

For further information, read our demystifiying impact article, published in SLN 102.

Applications

Before applying, please consult the Impact Grant Guidance Notes. Applications must be made using the Impact Application Package (last updated January 2024). 

See our impact and international collaboration grantholders roll of honour for details of past winners. 


Stream Convenor Impact Funding

This scheme is currently closed.

Recognising the important role that SLSA stream, theme and ‘current topic’ convenors have in acting as a focal point for bringing members together in key areas, the SLSA Board has made a limited amount of funds available to help create capacity building and networking opportunities to develop pathways towards impact. A maximum of £1000 per activity will be available. This is primarily intended to support involvement from non-academic partners. 

For further information, read our demystifiying impact article, published in SLN 102.

Applications

Before applying, please consult the Stream Convenor Impact Funding Guidance Notes. Applications must be made using the Stream Convenor Impact Funding Application Package


Annual Impact Prize

Nominations open on 24 June 2024.

Note: all nominees and nominators must be current members in good standing of the Socio-Legal Studies Association. You can check your membership status here.

This annual prize worth £250 is awarded to recognise and celebrate excellence in non-academic impact arising from socio-legal research. The deadline for nominations is 7 October 2024. The shortlist will be published in February each year and the winner will be announced at our Annual Conference in the spring.
