The BCF Curriculum Investigation Grant is intended to support research led by schools and colleges’ with a focus on curriculum inquiry and investigation. Normally, the grant is worth up to £5,000 for the winner, with £3,500 for two other grants, for a total of £12,000. This prize, awarded biennially, acknowledges the importance of research led by schools and colleges, and the last set of grants was awarded in 2020.

该奖项通常每隔一年运行，但我们能够在2021年释放一些额外的资金，因此可以额外提供5,000英镑的额外罚款。如果应用的质量特殊，可能会支持多个提案。

Submissions for the grant must be on a theme related toRace, Diversity and the Curriculum.

我们希望在2021/22学年开始于9月2021年9月2021年9月2022年9月提交的最终报告。

BCF课程调查赠款适用于基于学校和学院的申请人。

While it is possible that the applications will include collaborative partnerships with HE institutions we are keen to support schools and colleges led research and therefore ask the primary applicant to be based in a school or college.

Applications will be scored out of 5 in each category and weighed against:

• Potential for impact on school/college curriculum
• Applicability of research to others in similar educational setting/sector
• Research quality, including rigour, transparency and validity, and conforms with BERA ethical guidelines
• (Potential) impact for policy-makers, practitioners and other research users

申请还必须包括如何花费资金的详细预算。

Rigourcan be defined as the accuracy and quality of research particularly in relation to the data collection tools, analysis and interpretation of findings. This might include ensuring that data collection tools are appropriate and consistent given the aim and research question/s, that data analysis methods have been used consistently and that conclusions drawn from data are reasonable.

透明度relates to the need for clear, complete and explicit presentation of the research design, participants, data collected, findings, and of the researcher’s beliefs and role in relation to participants. Transparency enables readers to gain a clear view of the research process and how the findings were reached.

有效性assesses the extent to which the research design and study addresses the issue that the research was intended to explore. In other words, to what extent does the research design measure what it set out to, or reflect the particular phenomena it claims to represent?

Expected outcomes of the project and of the project team are:

• An external public-facing final report detailing key findings from the research project and how these findings might be taken forward (maximum 5,000 words). (A template for this report can be found at the bottom of this page)
• 一段短暂的项目评估，详细说明项目的诉讼程序（即事件，研究，会议）。这些报告的模板可以在本页底部找到。
• A possible article for BERA’s magazine Research Intelligence
