In 2021 we invited Academic Health Science Networks across England to apply for funding to build, strengthen and support collaborative learning practices that have emerged during the pandemic, adding value to work that is already happening across the regions.
The pandemic response saw a valuable increase in collaborative learning between teams, organisations and sectors. Q wants to help maintain the momentum behind this way of working and help embed a systemic, collaborative approach to learning.
This programme is now closed for applications
Applicants applied for awards of up to £20,000 for work carried out over a 12-month period.
We were looking for proposals that:
- Included activity seeking to build and further strengthen emerging systems and networks of shared learning. We were particularly interested in receiving applications that considerd regional priorities and needs.
