CDA Opportunities

CHASE Collaborative Doctoral Awards 2022-23

Collaborative Doctoral Awards (CDAs) are doctoral studentship projects which are developed by a university based academic working in collaboration with an organisation outside of higher education. They are intended as a way of facilitating collaboration with a diverse range of partners including smaller, regional partners.

CDAs are mutually beneficial; they provide important opportunities for doctoral researchers to gain first-hand experience of work outside a university environment and enhance employment-related skills. CDA projects also encourage and establish links that have long-term benefits for both collaborating partners, such as access to resources and materials, knowledge and expertise that may not otherwise be available and providing social, cultural and economic benefits to wider society.
