This may well be of interest to many AFLS members based in
the UK - my apologies if you've already seen it.

North West Centre for Linguistics Research Training Programmes
Research training needs questionnaire
The NWCL currently runs a twice-yearly programme for postgraduate students to complement the generic research training available at HE institutions with linguistics specific programmes which contribute to students' overall development as teachers and researchers in linguistics.
The two programmes held in 2002 were attended by 90 students from 37 different HE institutions from throughout the UK. However, we are aware that there are many more students of linguistics who may like to take advantage of a programme such as this, and that our courses may not be the ones that students/supervisors want or need. In order to plan for the future, it is essential that we have complete information about research training needs in linguistics. Accordingly, we have devised a questionnaire for current PhD students and MA students intending to embark on a PhD. We have also devised a second questionnaire for staff teaching or supervising research students. We would be very grateful if you and/or your students could participate in our survey and help us to better address your needs. The questionnaires can be found on the Subject Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies website at: http://www.lang.ltsn.ac.uk/lings/nwcl.html
