'Windfall' Funding 12
Sept 11 We have recently been awarded around £1.4m by EPSRC all of which will need to be spent by 30 June 2012, and some by 31st March 2012. The funding will be distributed primarily via internal competition under headings specified by EPSRC. These schemes, which are set out more detail in the attached document, will be of interest to:
1. Individual researchers with significant EPSRC funding over the past 5 years 2. Individual researchers in other disciplines who wish to build links with EPSRC-funded researchers 3. Directors of MRes, MSc and PhD programmes in EPS subjects 4. Directors of institutes and centres relevant to the EPSRC remit
All applications will need to demonstrate relevance to the EPSRC Strategy. Application details will follow in the next few days, with a deadline of 12th September for most schemes – though funding for MRes, MSc and PhD Scholarships will be available immediately. More information: (DOC). |
