We are pleased to announce a call for the next phase of the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM). The centre is expected to build upon and add further strategic direction to the ESRC's current methodological initiatives, and advance the quality and range of UK economic and social research techniques and skills. Our vision for this core investment is an integrated, cutting edge, internationally recognised centre of expertise for developing and promoting innovative research methods, advancing methodological understanding and practice, and promoting and supporting training and capacity building across the social sciences.
To help achieve this vision, the centre will comprise two distinct but collaborative elements, one which focuses on research methods development and the other which focuses on research methods training and capacity building. Together these elements will oversee the delivery of a national strategy for research methods and training and capacity building. They will also work collaboratively to deliver a programme of methodological research, promoting innovation and good practice across all aspects of the centre's remit.
Applicants can apply for up to £6.25 million at 100 per cent fEC (the ESRC's contribution is £5 million at 80 per cent fEC), for a period of five years.
Proposals should be submitted no later than 16.00 on 5 September 2013 and must be made through the Joint electronic Submission (Je-S) system. Interviews will be held in mid November 2013. It is expected that the successful grant will commence on 1 October 2014.
