> JISC Circular 15/98 invites proposals from UK HE
> institutions and consortia with US partners for a
> new international programme of digital library research
> and development. The programme will be funded in
> conjunction with the National Science Foundation
> (NSF) in the United States under the NSF's
> International Digital Libraries Research Program.
> The UK component will be funded by the JISC Committee
> for Electronic Information (CEI). The programme aims
> to promote collaborative research with investigators
> from the US.
>
> The Circular has been sent to Vice Chancellors and
> Principals of all HEIs funded by HEFCE, HEFCW, SHEFC
> and DENI, cc Librarians and Information Service
> Directors. The mailbase lists of Heads of Computer
> Science and LIS departments have been sent a copy of
> the Circular. A copy of the circular is at URL
> http://www.jisc.ac.uk/pub98/c15_98.html
>
> A sum of around £500,000 per year over the next 3
> years is available for UK project teams, and only
> a small number of projects are likely from
> this call. Strong UK/US partnerships will be
> critical for any proposal. Please note that although
> response to this circular is not required until 15
> January 1999, NSF seeks a letter of intent by 1 month
> prior to this date.
