This call has been launched as part of an on-going MRC and ESRC research strategy on the health and social harms caused by alcohol consumption. The research funded under this call will be considered for co-funding by MRC and Alcohol Research UK.
This call focuses on research supporting the aim of defining harms caused by alcohol and linking these to each of the various drinking behaviours prevalent in the UK. Harm is defined broadly and comprehensively; it ranges from damage to the organs, to the health and mental wellbeing of the drinker; to social harms - for example, the impact on the psychological development of children in a family where there is a heavy drinker. As the objective of defining and linking harms to behaviours is medium–term, this call aims to provide research impetus to support this goal.
The closing date for proposals is 16.00 on 29 November 2013. Proposals should be submitted electronically using the Research Councils’ Joint Electronic Submission (Je-S) form.
Detailed guidance on the information required as part of proposals is provided in the Je-S guidance notes for applicants (see link below). All applicants should consult the ESRC Research Funding Guide (see link below) which sets out the rules and regulations governing funding.
Applications should be submitted through MRC responsive mode or ESRC responsive mode depending on where the major emphasis of the research lies. It is strongly recommended that potential applicants contact the scheme contacts to discuss the remit of their proposal. Both Councils will follow the usual peer review process, supplemented by peer reviewers from the sister Council.
