      Knowledge Exchange Opportunities

      Collaborations between academic researchers, businesses, the public and third sectors are one of the most effective mechanisms for knowledge exchange. The ESRC funds and manages a wide range of schemes that encourage knowledge exchange and greater interaction between the social science research community and research users.

      The ESRC is issuing a harmonised call for the schemes highlighted in the first section below, providing funding to undertake additional knowledge exchange and impact generation activities that can demonstrate the potential for economic, social, policy and/or practice benefit(s). Please note, the schemes are not designed to fund new research.

      The call for applications to the schemes will be open between the 1st June 2010 and 5th August 2010. The schemes will operate on a number of staggered 'closed date' calls per year, the next call will be issued in November 2010.

      All applications should demonstrate links to the ESRC Strategic Plan 2009 - 2014 and the relevant sector engagement strategy (Business Engagement Strategy and/or Third Sector Engagement Strategy) where possible. Applications are particularly encouraged in the areas of Health and Well being and New, Technology, Innovation and Skills.

      The following schemes will be calling for applications on 1st June 2010:
