JISC

JISC invites institutions to submit funding proposals for projects to undertake work in the following areas:

Total funding of £3 million is available for this work over a period of up to two years. The full version of the circular 08/08 gives the complete details of the different projects.

The deadline for receipt of proposals is no later than 12.00 noon on 1 August 2008.

JISC is holding a community briefing event where potential bidders will be given information about the background to the calls, their objectives and the bidding process.  Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions about the circular.  This meeting will take place on the 24 June 2008 in Birmingham

Please note: The budget should be broken down across financial years (April–March) or parts thereof.

Eligibility Proposals for any project may be submitted by HE institutions funded via HEFCE and HEFCW. FE institutions in England that teach HE to more than 400 FTEs are also eligible to bid provided proposals demonstrate how the work supports the HE in FE agenda.  All FE Colleges in England (including those with fewer than 400 FTEs) may bid against funds for two projects to be provided by Becta under Call I (Transforming Curriculum Delivery Through Technology). The proposals funded by Becta must demonstrate how the work supports FE provision.
