The COMET podcast

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In this episode, we hear from Shomari Lewis-Wilson, Equitable Research Ecosystems Lead at Wellcome, and Dr Catriona Manville, Director of Evaluation and Analysis at the Medical Research Council.

Bringing the funder perspective, they reflect on the need for collaboration across the sector and in particular, the role funders can play in ensuring that evidence generated through programmes such as Wellcome’s Institutional Fund for Research Culture is translated into practice and used to inform decision-making within universities.

The podcast is hosted by Lizzie Ville, Research Associate at the University of Bristol, who works on the COMET project. This project is funded by the Wellcome Trust.

Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.

In this episode, we hear from Dr Eliel Cohen, Research Fellow at King's College London, and Dr Sophie Collet, Executive Director of Research and Innovation at the University of Bristol. Bringing together the perspectives of a higher education researcher and a university decision-maker, our guests reflect on COMET’s findings about the limited use of research evidence in research culture initiatives and explore Eliel’s evidence around the implications of the impact agenda for early career researchers and PhD students.
