 ** Apologies for Cross Posting**

The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) invites institutions to
submit funding proposals for projects under two separate strands of the
Information Environment programme:

*Strand A - Deposit*

Ensuring take-up of solutions that enable and encourage author deposit of
Open Access research outputs into repositories by embedding deposit into
research or related practice.

Total funds: £750,000. Up to 5 projects will be funded. Maximum funding for
any one project is £300,000.

*Strand B - Expose*

Projects that enable content to be made available on the Web using
structured data, in particular linked data which increases its potential
value to researchers, teachers and learners.

Total funds: £750,000. Up to 20 projects will be funded. Maximum funding for
any one project is £100,000.

A Briefing Document is available alongside this call, which outlines key
background and scope information to which bidders should refer.

The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to this call is *12 noon
UK time on* *Tuesday 20**th** April 2010*.

Bidders may submit proposals for more than one strand of this call. However
each strand must be addressed in a SEPARATE bid with appropriate references
to the related bid(s), identifying where there would be economies of scale
and added value if more than one bid were funded.

*Eligibility *

Proposals may be submitted by Higher Education (HE) Institutions funded by
HEFCE or HEFCW. FE institutions in England that teach HE to more than 400
FTEs are also eligible to bid provided proposals demonstrate work that
supports the HE in FE agenda. HE and FE institutions in Northern Ireland and
Scotland and FE institutions in Wales are not eligible to bid but may be
involved as partners in proposals led by HE institutions funded by HEFCE or
HEFCW or FE institutions in England which meet the criteria outlined above.
Bids involving Welsh institutions should address one or more of the
priorities outlined in ‘One Wales’, the Welsh Assembly Government's
progressive agenda for Wales.
