New ESRC Knowledge Exchange Scheme
The new Knowledge Exchange Opportunities Scheme due to open on 14th December 2011 until the 7th February 2012.
This scheme provides researchers with a great opportunity to engage with organisations in the private, public and civil society sector(s) on a social science issue.
The KE Opportunities Scheme now covers activities at all stages of the research process; from setting up networks to help inform the first stages of research; to the development of activities designed to apply previous research to policy and practice issues (previously covered by the ESRC Follow on Fund Scheme).
Please note this is a collaborative scheme and, as such, all applications must include at least 25% co-funding from partner(s) in the user community (depending on the sector involved). For further details, including how to apply, please visit the ESRC website:

There have been a number of changes to this call from previous ESRC Knowledge Exchange calls. For this reason, please ensure you have read the guidance notes carefully before submitting your proposal.
