Dear Colleagues,

At the COPS meeting earlier this year it was agreed that EPSRC would
produce regular digests of information for electronic broadcast
to the Statistics community.  Here is the first one.  It is being
sent to the COPS list and to Allstat.

Deborah Miller would welcome feedback on both form and content.

Best wishes,

Adrian Bowman

EPSRC Mathematics Programme - News and funding opportunities for the
statistics community

This is the first in a series of approximately monthly bulletins from the
EPSRC Mathematics Programme giving brief details of some items of interest
to the statistics community.  We hope to use this bulletin to alert you to
calls for proposals, news, etc.   More detail on each of these items can be
found at:

http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/EPSRCWEB/MAIN/PROGRAMMES/PROGRAMMES/Intro/Intro_MA.asp

Calls for proposals   ***=new

***MathFIT EPSRC invites applications for research grant and visiting
fellowship proposals under the MathFIT (Mathematics for Information
Technology) initiative. This initiative is sponsored by the EPSRC and
benefits from funding given by the London Mathematical Society (LMS). A
budget of £1.5 million has been earmarked for this call and it is envisaged
that there will be a similar call with a similar budget in 2002. The basic
aim of MathFIT is to develop new interactions between mathematics and
computer science, where 'mathematics' and 'computer science' are to be
interpreted broadly and to include, for example, statistics and operations
research and information technology and artificial intelligence,
respectively. The closing date for receipt of proposals in 19th October
2001.

Encouraging postdoctoral mobility between disciplines Academic researchers
are reminded that within the responsive-mode grant mechanism it is possible
to apply to EPSRC for follow-on support to allow a Post-doctoral Research
Assistant reaching the end of a research project in one discipline to
transfer their knowledge and skills to another discipline. No closing date.

Research Networks in Mathematics  The EPSRC Mathematics Programme is
actively encouraging research collaborations between mathematicians,
statisticians, operational researchers and researchers in other disciplines
and in non-academic organisations. The EPSRC wishes to receive high quality
proposals for Networks with the long-term objective that the support of such
networks will promote new or enhanced collaborative links involving
mathematicians and others. The closing dates for submission are 1 June and 1
December. 

Mathematics research underpinning the life sciences The EPSRC intends to
increase its portfolio of mathematics and statistics research that underpins
the life sciences. EPSRC wishes to receive high quality research proposals
for funding that meets this objective. No closing date.

Programme Information   ***=new

***Small grants for visiting fellowships The small grant scheme for visiting
fellowships is a successful scheme that has been running for a number of
years, by which mathematicians, statisticians and operational researchers
can obtain funds to enable colleagues of acknowledged standing from
different universities to visit and collaborate.  The maximum amount that
may be applied for under the small grant scheme has now been raised to
£10,000. 
 
***EPSRC Research Landscape 2001/2002 The 'research landscape' describes the
extensive portfolio of research supported by EPSRC and the strategic aims
and specific targets of individual EPSRC programmes.

"Hot Topics" suggested by the Technical Opportunities Panel The Technical
Opportunities Panel (TOP) has discussed ways of identifying technical areas
and challenges that are perceived as being important and after reflection
has produced a list of topics.  Comments on the list of topics and
suggestions for additional priority topics welcomed.
