CECHR Collaborative Research - Incubator Competition, 2015
Published on Mon 9 Feb 2015
Applications are invited for up to three ‘Incubator Grants’, sharing from a maximum fund of £5,000, to support new cross- and interdisciplinary projects aligned to the Centre for Environmental Change and Human Resilience [CECHR] mission of promoting more sustainable and equitable futures. This year proposals are encouraged which align with the key societal challenges: ‘promoting the sustainable use of global resources; shaping the future through innovative design and improving social, cultural and physical well-being - identified in the University’s Transformation vision.
Funding may be directed towards any aspect of the research process e.g. pilot studies, networking workshops, international team meetings [Horizon 2020] and fieldwork and international/national visitor exchanges. Proposals should be limited to a single side of A4 using the application template available from cechr@dundee.ac.uk. The significance of the research and the anticipated impacts should be clear along with a concise explanation of how the funds will be utilised. All projects must have a UoD collaborator and are expected to involve new ideas or outreach/dissemination plans that are not currently supported through existing funding or centrally by the University.
A final important consideration is that all funds allocated must be spent by the end of the financial year (end of July 2015). Applications will be judged by an independent panel and the outcomes known by Monday 9th March. A brief report acknowledging CECHR will be required upon completion, which will be published on the website and featured in the Annual Report.
Enquiries and completed applications should be submitted to the team at cechr@dundee.ac.uk. The deadline for submitting applications is noon on Friday 27th February 2015.
