Faculty Research Committee Scheme
Following the changes to the remit of the University Research Committee, the money formerly used by URC to fund studentships, pump prime projects etc, is being devolved to Faculties, which will consider applications for funding according to their own priorities and plans. In order to minimise duplication, it has been agreed that Faculties will operate the same broad scheme, with details determined at Faculty level. Therefore, attached is a generic application form for use by staff in the Faculties of Science & Engineering and Social Sciences & Law.
Please note the following:
- This is a generic form for use by more than one Faculty.
- Certain categories may not be supported and particular rules may be applied by individual Faculty schemes. Applicants must consult the appropriate set of Faculty Specific notes for details of which categories are available and for levels of funding etc.
- The form is intended for electronic transfer to avoid any re-keying. Forms can be accessed as a downloadable Word for Windows file (version 6.0/higher).
- To download these files: click on the blue highlighted word.
- Save this file to disk (either to your hard disk or a floppy disk). You should consider saving as a WORD TEMPLATE (.dot) file, so that you do not overwrite the original when inputting your data.
- The completed application form should be returned to the appropriate Faculty Officer either as a Simeon (email) attachment, or on floppy disk. PLEASE DO NOT SUBMIT PAPER COPY.
- The forms have been set up for completion by word processor. Boxes have, in most cases, been created to an exact size. You may adjust the box sizes, but should not exceed the total page length allowed for each part. (Part 1 is intended to be one side of A4 only, and Parts 2 - 9 are restricted to no more than 2 sides of A4). The font size of text may be reduced if necessary, but not lower than point 9.
- All applicants must complete PART 1.
- Applicants should then complete one other Part, selecting the appropriate Part according to the box on Part 1.
- Deadlines for submission: PLEASE REFER TO FACULTY SPECIFIC NOTES FOR DEADLINE DETAILS.
PLEASE DOWNLOAD AN APPLICATION FORM AND THE RELEVANT FACULTY-SPECIFIC NOTES. The form is attached either as one single form (17 pages in length for extraction of required parts) or can be downloaded as separate documents:
