The ESRC expects universities to exercise demand management and pre-select applications for the ESRC Transformative Research Call 2017-18. The value of the grant is up to £250K (at 100% fEC) over a maximum of two years.
The aim of this call is to provide a stimulus for social science research that is novel, pioneering and genuinely transformative. Ideas should challenge current thinking and contain an element of academic risk.
Only two applications may be submitted by Bournemouth University and therefore a special panel has been convened. Colleagues wishing to submit an application to this call should adhere to the following time scale:
| July 18th | Deadline- Send Intention to Bid form to the Funding Development Officer for your faculty |
| End of July* | Call Opens- applicants must work with a Faculty peer reviewer and follow submission approval processes at the Faculty level as guided by your Funding Development Officer |
