Commissioning Research
Culture South West, the Regional Cultural Consortium for South Western England,
has produced a comprehensive guide to commissioning cultural sector research.
Created as a web-based resource, the commissioning process has been broken down, step-by-step, into a series of questions and bulleted top tips for addressing them. This information is complemented by quotations from both researchers and research commissioners which demonstrate both good and not so good practice, and with health warnings along the way to alert you to potential pitfalls. There are also direct links to useful websites and hyperlinks to a glossary of definitions of terms, concepts and organisations cited. Although orientated towards the south west, the guide is
still a useful reference tool for anyone undertaking cultural research in other
parts of the country. The guide is available from
http://www.culturesouthwest.org.uk/guide/index.asp.
Below is a list of researchers and consultants who undertake cultural research in the North East of England.
