Summary

This is a pilot fund for projects in Scotland that engage with people on data research: to help the public understand the use of data in research, the benefits, and how it works.

The aims of the fund are to:

• Promote the public understanding of data research in Scotland
• Provide balanced information on data research
• Widen participation by involving and engaging members of the public who may not usually interact with science to take an interest and have a voice in data science
• Achieve clear and measurable impact

They are particularly interested in applications that will help improve understanding of the use of data in research to audiences that would not otherwise be aware of it, and/or creative ways of engaging with people.
