JISC Capital Programme: Call for Proposals

The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) invites institutions to submit funding proposals for projects in the following areas: e-learning, e-infrastructure; virtual research environments; repositories and preservation, and users and innovation. Funding is available for projects starting in March 2007 and running for a duration of six months to two years, depending on the area of work.

The deadline for receipt of proposals in response to this call is 12 noon on Thursday 23 November 2006. A town meeting will be held in Birmingham on Wednesday 11 October 2006 to provide a forum for discussion of the call and its subject matter. Institutions will need to register to attend this free event, using the form available at: http://www.jisc.ac.uk/index.cfm?name=event_capital_1006

Proposals may be submitted by HE institutions funded via HEFCE and HEFCW, and by FE institutions in England which teach higher education to more than 400 full-time equivalent students. In addition proposals to the HE in FE work may be submitted by FE institutions in England which teach HE to more than 100 FTEs. Due to the funding streams available for this programme, other institutions are not eligible to bid, but may be involved as partners in projects.
