[Turing-Southampton] REMINDER: Call for applications for WSI Research Collaboration Stimulus Fund Grants 2018-19

[Susan Davies]

***APOLOGIES IF YOU RECEIVE THIS MORE THAN ONCE***
A reminder that the closing date for applications is this Friday, 28 September.
The Web Science Institute has been granted a £100,000 Research Collaboration Stimulus Fund for 2018-19.
The focus of the Fund is on facilitating research collaborations and engagement with non-academic partners.  The Fund aims to stimulate and pump-prime interdisciplinary research activity across Faculties that will ultimately lead to collaborations and the development of full research grant or contracts proposals with non-academic partners.  Projects arising will be externally-funded either directly, or the collaboration with the non-academic partner(s) will be leveraged through public funding sources, either national or international.  Successful projects will be awarded funding within the range of £5k to £15k.
The research projects should fulfil the following criteria:

·         Involve collaboration between disciplines, and applications that are cross-Faculty will be strongly favoured

·         Facilitate research collaborations and engagement with non-academic partners

·         Lead to the development of full research grant or contracts proposals with non-academic partners

·         Knowledge of and commitment to Web Science
Applications may be made from staff in any Faculty at the University of Southampton and should be submitted electronically in PDF format to Susan Davies sdd1 at soton.ac.uk<mailto:sdd1 at ecs.soton.ac.uk> by 5pm on Friday 28 September 2018.

An awards panel comprising the Web Science Institute Directors will rank proposals and make final funding decisions within two weeks of the closing date.  Funding will be available from 1 November 2018.  All expenditure must be completed by 31 July 2019.

Please see the attached application form, which includes guidelines on submitting proposals and conditions of funding.

Best wishes

Susan
