Top tips 

  • Remember that although bids should be grounded in research, this is a call for public engagement activities
  • Strive to reach diverse groups of the public—do not consider “the public” as a homogenous entity
  • Steer clear of heavily academic-focused activity in your proposal
  • Feel free to pitch a project that is outside of the suggested list of topics
