***Apologies for Cross Posting***
I am obliged to announce that the Briefing Day for the Grant Funding Call 14/09 which was to have been held on 11 January has been cancelled. Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience.
The reasons are laid out in Malcolm Read's message, sent earlier today to the JISC Announce list and reproduced below. One effect of this 'freeze' is that the recent Grant Funding Call 14/09 under the Managing Research Data Programme will be postponed until further notice.
Malcolm's message reads:
"The recent grant letter from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) to HEFCE means that HEFCE are having to give careful consideration as to how funding reductions arising from the grant letter will be passed on to institutions.
"In the light of the grant letter, HEFCE have asked that JISC make no further commitments of capital funds ahead of the HEFCE Board meeting on 28 January at which decisions on funding allocations will be made. With this in mind, JISC is ‘freezing’ all current capitally-funded calls and ITTs, and will regrettably not be issuing any new calls or ITTs, until the funding situation is clearer."
Best wishes,
Simon.
