This exciting opportunity invites you to lead the East Marsh Community Research Network (CRN), a £1 million project funded by UKRI to address social, economic, and environmental challenges in the East Marsh. The CRN, a partnership of local organizations including Foresight North East Lincs, East Marsh United, and the University of Lincoln, aims to empower community members to conduct research that matters to them.
