Try reading some recent relevant journal articles and then based on your experience, formulate an initial question which you believe will create a unique contribution to knowledge. You might pay special attention to the final section of recent journal papers which call for further research in a theme that you\u2019re interested in. From there, you should write a proposal based on this initial gap. <a href=\"https:\/\/hub.salford.ac.uk\/sbs-disruptive-technologies\/contact-us\/\">Contact us for more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fundings Resources:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kef.ac.uk\/dashboard\">Knowledge Exchange Framework<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchprofessional.com\/\">Research Professional &#8211; Funding Search<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukri.org\/opportunity\/\">UKRI &#8211; Funding Search<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ktp-uk.org\/\">Knowledge Transfer Partnership <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publications<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our centre members have published a wide range of articles about disruptive technologies &#8211; here are some examples. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Books:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Oates, B.J., Griffiths, M. and McLean, R., 2022. <em>Rsearching Information Systems and Computing<\/em>.
