Subject: [BOAI] JISC Grant Funding Call 2/10: Deposit of research
outputs and Exposing digital content for education and research
[Forwarding from Neil Jacobs, via the JISC-Repositories list. --Peter
Suber.]
** 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 20th 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.
