Our evaluation strategy sets out how we monitor the impact of our research, the extent to which AHRC funding opportunites are delivering their aims and objectives and the contribution that our funding makes to the quality and health of the arts and humanties research base.

Funding initiatives address issues of intellectual and wider cultural, social or economic urgency that the Council considers are best supported by concentrated and coherent funding initiatives. Each funding initiative has its own set of aims and objectives.
Arts and Humanities Research and Innovation, a collaborative paper by the AHRC and NESTA, considers ways in which arts and humanities research contributes to the UK innovation system. The main focus is on the distinctive role and nature of the arts and humanities in the knowledge creation process, and on how that knowledge is utilised by society. The paper also considers the institutional role the AHRC plays as a funder and as an intermediary in the innovation system.
