==================================
Open call for NCeSS research Nodes
==================================
The ESRC has issued a call for NCeSS research Nodes, which is open to existing Nodes and new applicants. Each Node will pursue a broad programme of work either (a) investigating how e-Science technologies can be applied to substantive economic and social research problems in order to develop new solutions or (b) undertaking social studies of science and technology approaches to understanding the development path of e-Science.
It is anticipated that up to eight Nodes will be funded. The average budget per Node is expected to be of the order of £1,060k over three years, of which the ESRC will meet £850k, representing 80% of the full economic cost, though there is scope for variation around this figure.
There will be a Briefing Meeting about the call from 2pm to 4.30pm on Friday 25 May at the Kohn Centre, Royal Society, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace, London, SW1 5AG. The meeting is free but registration beforehand is essential. Please complete the registration form found at http://www.ncess.ac.uk/events/ to confirm your attendance
Deadline: full proposals must be submitted by 4pm on Tuesday 3 July 2007 through the Research Councils' Joint Electronic Submissions (Je-S) process.
Decisions are expected to be announced in November 2007 and funded Nodes will commence work between January and September 2008.
