Program Description Enter a summary for non-specialists (maximum 1,000 words)

This WUN research project is undertaken by nine WUN universities and three non-WUN universities. The WUN Global Challenge we address is ‘Understanding Cultures’. We considered ‘Public Health’, because our project has aspects relevant to both these Global Challenges, but settled on Understanding Cultures, knowing

that many WUN collaborations are crossing the Global Challenge ‘borders’.

The project aims to address a problem in academia that is blocking our full capacity to contribute to sustainable health, environment and development worldwide. The need for progress is especially urgent in many countries of the Global South, where poverty and deprivation continues to hamper development. If we stay on the present course, for example, we cannot hope to achieve the UN Millennium Development Goals for improved maternal and child health and the eradication of extreme poverty.

One reason for the lack of progress is the extraordinarily complex nature of the development challenge: health and environment and development are so inextricably intertwined that it is almost meaningless to try to improve the one without trying to improve them all. Yet society is poorly organised for the challenge. Those who are working for development are trapped in ‘compartments’: government ministries and Directorates with narrow portfolios, specialized NGO’s and interest groups that compete for scarce resources rather than collaborate, and academic disciplines and institutes that are so specialised that their ‘cultures’ barely interact, even if they share the same campus.

That is the problem in academia that we address: how can diverse academic specialties learn to cross their cultural bounds sufficiently to work together -- synergistically -- for development? This is a hard nut to crack. There are good reasons why academic specialties develop their own ‘languages’, models and theories and concepts, and specialised research methods. Such specialisation is the key to scientific progress. An unfortunate consequence that academic specialities often find it difficult to simply communicate with another, let alone collaborate to take aim at complex social challenges.

So, the issue is, can we have both: the distinct disciplinary orientations that are needed to make progress on questions within science, and transdisciplinary collaborations that work in harness with society, to tackle vital social problems?

The optimistic answer seems to be ‘yes’, but we cannot expect this to happen automatically. Academia is organised in academic departments, which are barriers to transdisciplinarity. What is needed are spaces for collaboration beyond the academic departments, spaces where the barriers ‘dissolve’ sufficiently to allow researchers with different backgrounds to work together, and with non-academicians, to address complex social challenges. How can academia and other actors in society develop knowledge, together, to inform positive social change?

An emerging and encouraging answer is the establishment of transdisciplinary research (TDR) teams and projects and programmes, including not only scientists but other key stakeholders as well. Transdisciplinarity is something more than inter- or multi-disciplinary collaboration. The three key features of transdisciplinarity are: (1) the focus is on solving vital social problems, not problems having primarily academic dimensions, (2) the scientists make real efforts to learn about others’ understanding of social problems and research approaches to address problems – in other words, crossing academic cultures, and (3) stakeholders outside academia are involved at every stage of TDR, as equal partners with knowledge and experience complementing academic knowledge and experience.

However, as with all science, quality is a concern, and achieving high quality TDR is especially challenging. This project will use three strategies to help WUN universities to achieve high quality TDR for sustainable health, environment and development in the Global South.

1. We will revitalise the WUN Critical Global Poverty Initiative, update its web site, and make the Initiative the home base for this project.

2. We will create an area for scientific exchange targeted specifically on the collaboration and quality issues,

Page 3: Application Form - University of Sheffield

WUN Research Development Fund Application Form 2012 3 July 2012

extract lessons from positive and the negative experience, and disseminate what is learned widely. This project will organise a Workshop that will address these questions, and disseminate the answers in a book:

> The disciplines in environmental science have succeeded in forging a new discipline, ‘sustainability science’; what lessons learned along the way should we take on board as we seek to forge broad-based and critical transdisciplinary research that supports transitions to green economies or other social models conductive to social change towards sustainable and equitable development?

> How can poverty studies break out of the traditional disciplinary focus and limitations to embrace an expanded role for poverty researchers in transdisciplinary and critical research for social change towards sustainable and equitable development?

> The diverse cultures and traditions of the development-oriented academic communities – economics, sociology, psychology, social geography, applied anthropology, agriculture and land use, to name some – are barriers to achieving transdisciplinary research for the green economy or alternative socio-economic models; which new arenas and ways of collaboration must be established in research environments to extract real synergy from the richness of the various disciplines?

> The study of factors that impede/foster transdisciplinary research is today a mature arena of research; what insights can be extracted from this knowledge base that can guide the way to the most innovative research for the green economy and alternative socio-economic models?

3. We will use established quality criteria for TDR to evaluate research projects at the participating WUN universities, and undertake a joint analysis, to extract and illuminate lessons learned about what factors contribute to high quality TDR, and what factors detract from quality. The results of this research will be published as a collaborative project of the Lead Collaborators on this project.

The project activities to be undertaken in 2013 will have four outcomes:

Outcome 1: The participating WUN and non-WUN researchers will establish a basis for future collaboration, beyond the confines of this project, by becomes better acquainted with one another’s interests, expertise and experience.

Outcome 2: A revitalised web site for the WUN Critical Global Poverty initiative.

Outcome 3: A book published by ZED Books, London, with the working title "Bridging Health Promotion and Sustainability Science for Development in the Global South".

Outcome 4: A published analysis of TDR experience at the participating WUN universities.

Objectives How does this program address a novel research area or take an existing interdisciplinary research group (IRG) in a significantly new direction? How does the program align with WUN strategic objectives and address a WUN Global

Challenge? (maximum 300 words) WUN members that are partners in this application (plus several partners that are not WUN members) will undertake a five-part academic project that takes aim at the problem outlined above. We will:

1. Revitalize the WUN Critical Global Poverty (WCGP) initiative.

2. Conduct an international Workshop in Bergen in the Spring of 2013, gathering development experts

Page 4: Application Form - University of Sheffield

WUN Research Development Fund Application Form 2012 4 July 2012

from diverse scientific fields from every corner of the globe. The aim is to discuss and summarise in a timely book how some encouraging advances – the growth of sustainability science and of health promotion science as examples – can be leveraged by WUN members working in collaboration, to support better and more extensive transdisciplinary science for development. Key to this will be finding ways to create research collaboration with governments, civil society and other key actors.

3. Identify and document past transdisciplinary research (TDR) attempts (failed as well as successful) at the universities participating in this project;

4. Use state-of art TDR quality criteria within an established TDR evaluation framework to analyse the quality of the TDR identified in (3) above;

5. Complete and publish a joint analysis using the data produced in (4) above. We will be open to the study of a range of TDR projects, but our main focus will be TDR in the study of poverty and health in the Global South, aiming for better quality TDR where it is perhaps most needed – the places where severe poverty and hardship stubbornly continues to hamper sustainable development.

Quality Provide evidence that this program is of high academic quality and impact, innovative, inter-disciplinary and

international in scope. (maximum 300 words) The most innovative feature of this project is its use of a TDR evaluation framework to evaluate a sample of TDR projects, providing a rich data base from which to draw lessons about ways to improve the quality of development TDR. We will use a process evaluation framework developed by the Evaluation Network for Transdisciplinary Research (1). We have recent experience using the framework, in a five year FP7 project (ALICE RAP) with over 100 scientists from 40 European countries, doing research to help reframe European policy on addiction. The University of Bergen has responsibility for the ALICE RAP evaluation and thus has current hands on experience using the evaluation framework, that will be transferable to this WUN project.

A second innovative aspect of the project is the retrospective use of the evaluation framework, with data coming not only from projects under way, but also from completed projects. We will use document analysis and key informant interviews to achieve triangulation in assessing each of the quality criteria in the framework.

The level of transdisciplinarity in this project is very high, with the project investigators from 12 universities and the ISSC, from across the globe, having backgrounds in psychology, epidemiology, human ecology, integrated human studies, business and management science, medicine, developmental studies, health promotion, environmental medicine & science, sustainability science, international health, and poverty policy studies.

We expect other collaborative activities in the near future (for instance, with the Global Health Justice Network: http://www.wun.ac.uk/research/ghjnetwork) will broaden the initial focus of this proposal while keeping its original emphasis in transdisciplinary methodologies and sustainability science.

Leadership Outline how the program team will be lead and constituted.(maximum 300 words)

The Principal Investigator at the University of Bergen will lead the project, using a research consortium model of project management. The nine Lead Collaborators at the nine WUN Partner universities will constitute the project's decision making body, drawing on the advice, experience and expertise of other scientists at the WUN universities and the three non-WUN universities, plus other invited experts taking part in the Workshop. We have a great deal of experience with the research consortium model, through a series of international collaborative research projects funded in the past by the EU's FP5, FP6, and now FP7 programme. The project will be administered by a Secretariat at the University of Bergen, led by an Executive Committee composed of Professor Maurice Mittelmark (Head, Department of Health Promotion and Development), Professor Gro Lie (Head of UiB Global) and Professor Alberto Cimadamore (Head of the Comparative Research Programme on Poverty (CROP) of the International Social Sciences Council (ISSC), which is hosted by the University of Bergen. UiB Global will provide space and office equipment for the Secretariat and CROP will oversee the work of the secretariat. Through CROP, the project will have many connections to the ISCC, and the head of the ISCC, Heidie Hackman, is a partner in this project. We will initiate the project at the Spring 2013 Workshop in Bergen. This will facilitate frequent, ongoing communication via email and Skype meetings as the project unfoldes. We will dedicate a major part of the revitalised WUN Critical Global Poverty Initiative web site to a closed, interaction site for project communications. As seen in the section on Anticipated Outputs, we have a clear schedule of deliverables/mileposts that we will use to monitor progress, identify emerging problems, and come to solutions to surmount problems that may arise. We will strongly encourge a research culture of openness, critical reflection, quality monitoring and assurance, and sharing of both responsiility and the rewards that the project will bring (publications, conference presentation, et cetera).

Sustainability Outline how the program will build longer-term international relationships based on genuine commitment by the

research partners, demonstrated matching cash and in-kind support by the partner institutions and the clear and realistic opportunities to attract external funding.(maximum 300 words)

Genuine commitment is evident from the fact that the WUN partners are contributing in excess of 57% of the project's financial budget, plus the in-kind support of the Lead Collaborators and others at the institutions that have already committed support.

For example, at the University of Bergen, the financial contribution is £35 200, and three university units contribute staff, office space and facilities:

> The Department of Health Promotion and Development contributes the in-kind effort of the Principal Investigator.

> 'UiB Global' is the university's unit for Global and development-related research and the Unit's Director, Professor Gro Lie, serves on the Executive Committee of this project and donates space to house the project's Secretariat.

> CROP (The Comparative Research Programme on Poverty) is a programme of the International Social Science Council (ISSC), hosted by the University of Bergen. CROP builds independent, alternative and critical knowledge and education to inform policy. CROP's Scientific Director, Professor Alberto Cimadamore, is a

member of the Executive Committee for this project, and CROP provides and management and technical support for the revitalisation of WUN Critical Global Poverty Initiative and its web site, for the Workshop and for the TDR evaluation part of the project.

The prospects for sustained financial support of activities after 2013 cannot be predicted with confidence. However, the Principal Investigator of this proposal plans to make an application to the EU’s FP8 in 2014, for research on enhanced quality of TDR, and it will be a significant advantage if this WUN project can be undertaken, and thus serve as the foundation for an expanded collaboration in FP8.

Anticipated outputs List the key performance indicators (KPIs) of this project (eg: joint publications, joint external funding applications,

postgraduate training, policy input, novel technologies etc) (maximum 300 words) 1. A revitilized WUN Critical Global Povery intiative. 2.

Jeff Masuda <[email protected]> 23 October 2012 19:20Reply-To: [email protected]: Maurice Mittelmark <[email protected]>

Thanks for this update Maurice. The call for proposals is quite exciting - can it be shared now?

I have attached a one page CV and, between $3K provided by my faculty with the remainder of travel costscoming from my own funds, you can write me in for a $5000 (CDN) cash contribution to the application.

Anything else required?

Jeff
