Dear listreaders
Are you involved in a UK organisation of disabled people interested in
submitting a proposal for this work? If so, would my involvement be of
interest? I am Lecturer in Disability and Employment at City University,
London, where I run postgraduate and distance-learning programmes in this
area (see details at http://www.city.ac.uk/~sf382/rrc1.html
I've also been involved in both participatory and emancipatory research.
I have a sabbatical coming up, so could contribute on a costs-only basis.
Please contact me off-list if this is of interest.

The Foundation would especially welcome proposals which are led by organisations of disabled people/service users.

Please note that this figure does not include costs for any additional support required to enable disabled researchers or service users to undertake the proposed work (it would be helpful if these costs were made explicit on the Budget form or in an Appendix to the Budget).
