Dear Colleague,
UK-based researchers, and those with an interest in and
knowledge of social science research and research methods in
the UK, are invited to contribute to a consultation on the
development of methods research and training. This can be done
by completing the questionnaire at http://www.s3ri.soton.ac.uk/ncrm/.
Background: To develop the quality and range of methodological
skills and techniques used by the UK social science community,
the ESRC is establishing a National Centre for Research
Methods (NCRM). The Centre will be coordinated from the
University of Southampton and include a
number of specialized sub-centres across the country. The
Centre’s first priority is to consult the UK social science
community over the shape of its research and training programme. This
consultation will inform the strategic direction of the Centre
as well as the commissioning of the sub-centres. Further details
can be found at the website below.
We would be pleased if you were willing
and able to participate in the consultation by completing the
questionnaire no later than 19 January 2004. We apologise for the
tight deadline for this consultation, which is outside of our
control. Please forward this message to any of your colleagues or
other contacts whom you think would be interested in
contributing.
With regards
Chris Skinner, Sue Heath, Grainne Conole and David Martin
