Research impact and dissemination
• Who is the research for?
• What will it change?
• What will you do to share the research findings?
• What will you do with the raw data?

Working with partners
• Other researchers
• Other research organisations
• Research users
• Research participants
• Partners/stakeholders?

Exercise 1
Write an abstract of your planned research project. This should be between 200 and 250 words, and set out:(a) The general issues and debates that your
study will engage with(b) Your specific aims and objectives(c) The research strategy you will follow to meet
these objectives

Exercise 2
In groups of no more than two or three, take it in turn to be one another’s ‘critical friend’.
Person A spends 10-15 minutes asking Person B about her research project. [e.g. What are your research questions? What are your aims? What are your objectives?]
Help and encourage Person B to refine the abstract s/he has written by asking further questions and reflecting on the answers together.
Then swap roles.
