JISC

The AHRC, JISC and EPSRC are now inviting applications for research project grants under the e-Science Research Grants scheme. The call will support a portfolio of research projects up to a maximum of 48 months in duration, and for between £20,000 and £400,000 (fEC).

The aim of the scheme is to advance research in the A&H through the use and development of e-Science technologies, as defined above. Projects must involve either or both of the following:

• the development of e-Science tools or resources specifically for research in the arts and/or humanities;
• the achievement of significant research findings in an arts or humanities subject using e-Science technologies.

Applications can request either a Research Grants project, a Research Grants project with one/two studentships attached OR an application for one/two project studentships.

Applications must be submitted to the AHRC through the Joint Electronic Submission (Je-S) System.

Please note that a open meeting is being held on 8 September 2006 in London at Woburn House, Tavistock Square, London, beginning at 14.00, which will provide an opportunity to ask questions about the scheme. For Further information please contact ICT Programme Administrator, Heather Haskins.
