CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Modulations: Broadcasting Research in the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences

Issue by Resonance104.4fm and The Arts & Culture Unit

Deadline for Applications: 7 December 2014

We are delighted to announce the launch of a new joint initiative between London arts radio station Resonance104.4fm and media and communications agency The Arts & Culture Unit.

Called Modulations, it offers academic researchers the opportunity to communicate their research in a creative format to new and engaged audiences, through working with a dedicated expert team of communicators and producers. This initiative also offers significant benefits for research institutions in terms of both research impact and the profile of their research cultures.

Modulations comprises three stages: training in broadcast media; co-production of a programme (or a series of programmes) on the researcher's subject; and broadcast of the researcher's programme on Resonance104.4fm. Following broadcast, the programme will be available as a podcast, for both researchers and their institutions and/or funding bodies to further disseminate. In addition, each programme will become part of the Resonance104.4fm archive, available online.

Modulations is looking to produce all kinds of programme making, from discussion shows to documentaries and everything in between, with a focus on how to best represent and communicate researchers' work through the medium of speech-based programme-making. As such, it is is actively seeking diversity in terms of both content and delivery. Programme lengths are either half an hour or one hour long; and are offered as either an individual programme, a three-part series, or as a six-part series.

There are a limited number of available slots for Modulations and therefore allocation is by competitive entry.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

We are keen to receive proposals that seek to work creatively with the medium; proposals from first-time programme makers; and proposals from researchers interested in and committed to collaborative working practices. We are also interested in receiving proposals from researchers whose work makes use of media forms, such as music, film or television, or of oral histories.

In the first iteration of this initiative, we are initially looking to work with researchers based in London and the South East. However, we are open to suggestions and proposals from further afield. Also please note that if your proposal is not successful in the first round of this initiative, you are not precluded from being accepted for future iterations of Modulations. We will keep all proposals on file.

Finally, applicants need to ensure that they have access to funds to cover media training expenses, production costs and broadcast fees. Exact costs of each programme will vary according to the format, programme length and level of training and production required.

HOW TO APPLY

To apply, please submit a 400 word outline which details the subject of your proposed radio programme and the critical issues it will examine, as well as why and how your research would benefit from becoming a radio broadcast. Please also include a proposed format and show length for your programme in your proposal.

The deadline for proposals is 7 December 2014, with proposals submitted to [log in to unmask]

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Following submission of proposals, successful applicants will be notified on 18 December 2014. Production will begin in January 2015, and run for three months. The first set of Modulations programmes will be broadcast between April and June 2015.
