Hi Alex,
I'm responding on behalf of my partner, Dr Dave Horton. I am fairly
confident that Dave would want to put in a proposal - he has been following
and involved in the Cycle Demonstration Town project here in Lancaster -
however, he will not be able to put together an expression of interest
within 11 days, as specified. (His father is very ill, and is expected to
die within a week or so). I wonder if it would be possible for you to
provide him with a proforma, so that when he gets back to his desk, he would
be able to see what is required, and if he does want to apply then to
discuss his ideas with you at that stage?
Best wishes,
Sue Holden

Subject: Bike It - Expressions of Interest for Research
Hello All,
Sustrans Research and Monitoring Unit would like to request expressions of
interest for small research projects (£1-3k) to look at the impact of the
Bike It Programme.
Proposals should be aimed at delivering findings which will enable the
programme to be evaluated and developed, or as small 'priming' studies
which could present themselves as a route to a wider research project.
Some of you may be aware of the Bike It programme which is led and
implemented in schools by Sustrans (for more information see
http://195.224.180.230/default.asp?sID=1102425335218, and the Bike It
Project Review - attached). Sustrans Research and Monitoring Unit are
conducting a complex 3 year monitoring programme covering the various
aspects of Bike It and the way in which they impact upon cycling levels
amongst school children. We have a limited funding pot which we would like
to offer to interested parties to conduct research which will complement
our own approach. If your expression of interest is appropriate to the
monitoring programme, we will send you a short proforma to complete.
We would be grateful if recipients could pass this message onto
appropriate colleagues and parties whom they consider appropriate.
Please respond to [log in to unmask]
Expressions of interest must be received by the 25th of September.
Completed proformas will be expected by the 9th of October with decisions
made by the end of the month.
Many thanks,
Alex
