Subject: JISC Grant Funding 11/11 - JISC Transformations Programme
***Apologies for cross posting***
JISC invites eligible institutions (see below for eligibility) to submit bids to participate in the JISC Transformations Programme.
The objective of the Transformations Programme is to help institutions move towards organisational change through the application of existing JISC and other resources in order to:
1. Enhance their student experience
2. Improve the efficiency of their business and become agile in a climate of change
3. Enhance their organisational capability for business and community engagement
£1 million is available for this Programme in the 2011/12 Academic Year and this is the first of two rounds of calls. The second is due to be published in early 2012 depending upon the level of funds remaining. £15,000 per project is available to bidding institutions that are already committed to business change.
The closing date for bids is 12 noon UK time on 15 September 2011. 12-18 month projects are expected to start by 7 November 2011 and complete no later than 31 July 2013. Bidders will be required to complete a short structure bid form.
An online briefing event will be held to provide further information about the background to the call and its objectives. It will be held during week commencing 15 August 2011. Further information, including the date of the event and how to join, will be announced in due course.
Further information about the call can be found at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/fundingopportunities/funding_calls/2011/07/grant11_11.aspx
A Programme Blog has been set up which will include important information relevant to the call. Potential bidders should monitor the Blog at http://transformations.jiscinvolve.org/wp/.
Eligibility
Proposals may be submitted by HE institutions funded via HEFCE, SFC, HEFCW and DEL Northern Ireland. FE institutions in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are not eligible to bid for this call as JISC intends to provide an opportunity for FE colleges across the UK to bid for similar activity in the early part of 2012.
With regard to bids from Scottish HE institutions, SFC has applied a significant budget cut to JISC in 2011-12 AY. Following consultation with Scottish institutions, SFC has requested that the impact of this budget cut falls on the number of innovation projects JISC is able to fund at Scottish institutions, rather than to cut or increase charges for national services, such as JANET, JISC Collections and JISC Advance. Whilst Scottish HE institutions therefore remain eligible to bid for project funding in response to this call, depending on the quality of the submissions, JISC may need to limit the number of projects awarded to Scottish HE institutions.
