Proposals invited: research information management

JISC has invited institutions to submit proposals for projects in the area of research information management.

'Research Information' in this document refers to structured information about projects, researchers, research outputs and their value and impact, research impact more widely, funding streams, organisations such as funders and universities, and so on.

There is funding of up to £400,000 available for projects funded through this call. Projects should be up to six months long, and grants available will range from £20,000 up to £50,000 per project.

In the interest of sustainability, evidence of institutional commitment is required. This can be shown in direct funding contributions from the HEI to the project, commitment of staff time, equipment, software purchase etc. It is anticipated that projects in the call will involve institutions already working in this area and therefore will have complementary plans in place.

The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to this call is 12 noon UK time on Monday 11th January 2010. Projects should start at the beginning of March 2010 and end by the end of August 2010.
