In this guide and in the context of a research project, ‘upstream’ is defined as the planning stages before any research has been done and during the process of putting together a funding proposal. Often, at this planning stage there is limited or no funding for upstream stakeholder, community or public engagement. This guide aims at inspiring ideas on how to conduct engagement to feed into a funding proposal, where limited resources and budget are available.
This guide will be useful for:
- Researchers who are preparing a funding application
- Public/Community Engagement staff
- Anyone who is new to CEI and wants to learn more about it
