Developing Business-Aware Academics[1] (DBAA) is a four-year £5m project based at the University of Exeter Business School[2] and funded[3] by Research England, part of UKRI.

Project partners include the Chartered Association of Business Schools[4] (CABS) and a national network of academic and non-academic partners.

The aim of the project is to increase collaboration, and the mobility of researchers, between universities and other organisations to enable a healthier, more sustainable and socially-just future.

The project is developing a programme of training and networking for academic researchers, from any discipline, in the early stages of their careers.

The project evaluates and assesses programme initiatives to collect evidence on their effectiveness and is also researching existing provision for researcher development in the UK and internationally.

The Project Director is Professor Alison Truelove.[5]

A case study[6] describing the project's work to support doctoral and early-career researchers to engage beyond academia, through developing skills provision and creating initiatives for networking, was included in a National Centre for Universities and Business (NCUB) report.[7] The case study[6] describes how the project is identifying industry skills gaps that have the potential to be addressed by collaboration with universities.[7]
