The funding will support the sector to explore these questions across artforms and regions, building collective knowledge and supporting the development of effective policy.<\/p>\n<p>Following the 2014 publication of \u2018The value of arts and culture to people and society \u2013 an evidence review\u2019, we identified gaps for future research commissions and this is why we are now launching the Research Grants Programme to explore these in depth.<\/p>\n<p>Successful applicants will promote greater collaboration and co-operation between the arts and cultural sector and research partners.\u00a0 We expect that findings will be used to demonstrate to Government and local authorities a better understanding of the impact investing in culture has on cultural, social, educational and economic change.\u00a0 Applications must be a joint collaboration between an arts and\/or cultural organisation and a research partner. \u00a0The arts and\/or cultural organisation must be the lead applicant.<\/p>\n<p>A total of <strong>\u00a3700,000<\/strong> is available for 2015-16, with indicative budgets of \u00a3900,000 available for 2016-17 and 2017-18.\u00a0 Grants are available from \u00a350,000 to \u00a3100,000 per year.
