The ESRC is currently inviting nominations for its four main Boards, which
are responsible for commissioning and managing research activities and
postgraduate training. The Boards are:
Research Priorities Board
Research Grants Board
Research Resources Board
Training Board
At present there is only one Board member with a social policy background
(at least in terms of someone currently working within a university
department with a social policy focus). The profile of social policy has
traditionally been low within the ESRC and this may be reflected in our
fairly mediocre success rates in terms of both grant and studentship awards.
Thus it would be extremely useful if list members could review the ESRC's
call for nominations and consider possible candidates. The deadline for
submissions is MAY 1ST 2001. Details are available on:
