If possible, try to complete the Communications Intake Form within the first couple of months of your grant award. It’s key to be thinking about your dissemination strategy at the outset so you have a community ready to use your research findings when you hit key milestones or are ready to publish.
Knowing that each scholar will have a different approach to and capacity for communications, the “intake” process helps us determine how best to support and augment your plans/activities. Scholars will be asked to consider how existing platforms and communications vehicles at their home institutions can be leveraged, working with HES4A to create a dissemination strategy that targets key audience groups.
If you would like support with completing your Communications Intake Form, click this link and fill out the Google Form to schedule a one-on-one session with the Metropolitan Group team. They can provide support and guidance to help you think through communications planning.
When your research products/reports are near completion, or are about to hit key milestones, send your Communications Intake Form to Sheldon.
