The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) invites institutions to submit funding proposals for projects under three separate strands of the Managing Research Data Programme. JISC wishes to fund projects across three strands:
1. Strand A: Citing, Integrating and Linking Research Data: To demonstrate the innovative potential for research and scholarly communications of improving methods for citing, integrating and linking research data.
2. Strand B: Enhanced Research Data Publications: To explore innovative technical and organisational models for data publication by scoping and piloting enhanced publications for research data in the form of ‘data journals’, ‘overlay journals’, or similar.
3. Strand C: Research Data Management Training: To promote research data management skills in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) through designing and piloting training units for undergraduate or postgraduate courses, for librarians or research support staff, or in the form of summer schools or roadshows.
The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to this call is 12:00 noon UK time on Friday, 12 February 2010.
Funding is available for projects starting from 1 April 2010 for any duration up to 12 months. All projects must complete by 31 March 2011.
Proposals may be submitted by Higher Education (HE) Institutions funded by HEFCE or HEFCW. HE and FE institutions in Northern Ireland and Scotland and FE institutions in England and Wales are not eligible to bid but may be involved as partners in proposals led by HE institutions funded by HEFCE or HEFCW.
Proposals may be from single institutions or consortia. Partnership arrangements may be developed outside the sector (for example with research council sites, publishers, commercial suppliers), but the lead partner must meet the criteria outlined above. Funds can only be allocated through the lead partner.
The JISC is holding a community briefing event where potential bidders will be given information about the background to the call, its objectives and the bidding process. Attendees will also have an opportunity to ask questions of JISC executive staff and relevant JISC committee members. This meeting will take place on Monday 11 January 2010. Members of the community are invited to register for the meeting online:
