By submitting a proposal, members could have access to increased funding opportunities or project sponsorship and/or the allocation of Alliance expertise to project delivery.
Members should understand that proposals will be subject to review and any support provided will be at the Alliance’s exclusive discretion.
Please note that if a project is considered appropriate for further exploration, this does not guarantee that the Alliance will be applying internal capacity and resources towards project delivery.
Who can submit a proposal?
Proposals can come from any member of the Alliance. Proposals of interest submitted from non-members will only be considered for progression should the member be eligible for membership and the uptake of membership be forthcoming.
What do we mean by a proposal?
The Alliance wishes to make the development and delivery of research as accessible as possible. In this spirit, a ‘proposal’ is merely a statement outlining a possible course or topic of research that the proposer(s) believes would benefit them or the wider sector.
In particular, the Alliance invites ideas that link to at least one of the four key strategic objectives in our new strategy, ‘Support. Recover. Achieve.’ The strategic objectives reflect our core role as the representative body for sport and recreation, and are listed as follows:

If you have any queries on the process or would like advice on a potential idea please contact us at research@sportandrecreation.org.uk in the first instance, and we will put you in touch with an Alliance colleague who can help.
