Call for Research Mentors
ADC-LTSN Pedagogic Research Fund
The art, design and communication subject centre has established a Pedagogic
Research Fund to further meet its strategic aims and targets. As these
subject communities do not have well established practice in this area, the
fund will be targeted at key research questions and supported by expert
research mentors.
The subject centre invites applications from experienced educational
researchers to provide this mentoring support. Funding available for
mentoring is a maximum of £12,000 in total for the duration of the fund.
Application process
Please apply in writing to Linda Drew, Subject Centre Manager by Friday 8
March 2002. Applications should outline experience of project or research
supervision in the context of research in HE learning and teaching, as well
as proposing a methodology for the project mentoring within the available
budget. Applicants should include key contact details. As a guide,
applications should not exceed 2,500 words.
Features of the Pedagogic Research Fund

£3,000 to £5,000 per research project.
