Partnerships for Public Engagement
Description: Awards are aimed at active researchers, in partnership with their research teams and outside specialists or partner organisations that can provide communication expertise. The objectives of the scheme are to: - Stimulate the public's interest in contemporary research, including work funded by EPSRC; - Inspire future generations of researchers in engineering and the physical sciences; - Encourage public debate about the role of research in society and establish a dialogue between researchers and the public; - Build and sustain a community of researchers active in public engagement, including through partnerships, with the necessary expertise. - They are particularly interested in projects that not only increase the public's awareness of science and engineering, but also include some level of dialogue between members of the public and scientists or engineers, where this is appropriate.
Funding : There is no limit to the scale of the project or the amount of funding that can be requested. However, all activities should offer value for money. The vast majority of projects announced since the implementation of FEC are requests in the range from £20 - £120,000, but smaller or larger bids are welcome.
Amount : £50K - £100K       Closing Date : 11 November 2008    Duration : Unspecified

Mid-Career Development Fellowships
Description: Applications are welcome from academics seeking support for a programme of work, based on a specific research question, linked to substantive career development. Applications are also welcome from researchers seeking to move into academic research from professional practice in an allied field, enabling them to complete a PhD if required. Awards will be made for two years and, in exceptional circumstances, for three years. Applicants can apply for either full- or part-time awards to fit in with other research activity or with more flexible working patterns. The scheme is open to all social science disciplines; interdisciplinary research is particularly encouraged. Fellowships can be held at any ESRC recognised UK HEI or Independent Research Institute (Responsive Mode).
Funding : The ESRC currently expects to support between 10 and 15 Mid-Career Development Fellowships each year. The limit for Mid Career Development Fellowships is reviewed regularly, but is currently set at £250,000 (at full economic costing).
