The department will undertake an internal shortlisting process and produce a ranked list of projects to recommend to the Board to be funded. As before for internal projects we will apply the following criteria as well as the scoring criteria:

  • no more than one third ie £23,333 to a single project.
  • no more than one project funded per research group: more than one can apply but we will take the first ranked from each team consecutively until the funds are used up.
  • we expect teams to co-fund projects in kind or in cash to match the funds applied to.

How to apply:

Reviewing/ranking will need to be done between 17th-24rd January (ie early warning for SMC members please) so that we can make final decisions by 30th.
