Our £1.3 million Commissioning Fund supports exemplar projects to further build behavioural research capability across the UK. Following on from our successful first round which funded 10 projects, we are now accepting applications for our second and final funding call. In this funding call we are interested on applications centred on behavioural research focused on the environment and sustainability that can address one of the following themes: Integration of knowledge across types of data, academic disciplines and sectors, involving methods that: triangulate different types of data; improve integration of knowledge across disciplinary ‘silos’; and advance how behaviours are measured.Explaining variations in effectiveness of behavioural interventions across contexts (e.g. types of populations, settings and behaviours). This will enable the accurate generalisation of research findings to specific contexts. Read more about the Fund (including key dates and how to apply) and the Frequently Asked Questions.
