The HMRC/HMT/ESRC are inviting outline proposals for a Centre for Research on Tax Administration. Applications may be made for up to £2.5 million (at 100 per cent fEC) for a period of up to five years. The Scheme is open to all staff at Research Organisations (RO) eligible for Research Council Funding. Consistent with the Research Councils’ arrangements for fEC, the ESRC will contribute 80 per cent of this cost and the remaining balance must be guaranteed by the Research Organisation.
Proposals are invited that offer high quality research and related activities on tax administration able to strengthen the theoretical and empirical understanding of the design and delivery of tax operations and policy. It is expected that the centre will develop new approaches and insights to exploit the data resources available though the HMRC Datalab and the ESRC-Funded Secure Data Service. The centre is also expected to provide a focus for academic and practitioner networking, stakeholder engagement, knowledge exchange and the development of research capacity in tax administration.
For full details refer to the call specification.
The deadline for submission of outline proposals is 16.00 on 22 March 2012. Proposals received after this time will be rejected.
Applications should be made via the Research Council Joint Electronic Submission System (Je-S). All applications must be costed and approved by the relevant institutional authority at the Research Organisation.
Any query regarding the call should be made to the project team at tax-centre-team@esrc.ac.uk
