Dear all,
 
ESRC has launched its Secondary Data Analysis initiative.  The normal ESRC policy applies: non-UK Co-Is are allowed, and may receive up to 30% of the cost of the grant (disbursed via the UK PI). 
 
The aim is to deliver high impact research relevant to policy-makers and practitioners, through deeper exploitation of the major data resources created by the ESRC and other agencies.  The call is for small scale projects of up to £200,000 (at full economic cost). The initiative will be commissioned in a number of phases and this first phase will involve funding around 20 projects. Proposals are welcome in any area of social and economic research which can generate policy and practitioner impact, but there are significant opportunities to address ESRC’s strategic priorities.

RCUK US is supporting this with funds for T&S for UK-US teams to develop proposals.  It’s an extremely short turnaround: although he deadline for the call itself is not until 19th April, expressions of interest for travel should be submitted by 16.00 on 14 February 2012 at the latest and all trips must be completed by 31 March 2012.. However, it’s a very light-touch process: applicants only need to submit two sides of A4.  Also, expressions of interest can be submitted for travel already booked, as long as the other requirements are met. 

Best wishes,

Ruth
