Deadline: 22 October 2015
The Partnership for Conflict, Crime and Security Research (PaCCS) is currently accepting applications for its two calls for research proposals under its Conflict theme.
The AHRC and ESRC are contributing to a ‘common pot’ of up to £4m to these joint PaCCS calls on conflict to support interdisciplinary research innovation which crosses the remits of the two Councils; in addition, the EPSRC has indicated that it would be willing to consider co-funding projects on a case by case which cross into its remit, particularly in relation to the connections between conflict and digital technologies and/or cyber-security.
Categories
- Interdisciplinary Innovation Awards (up to 18 months and up to £100,000 fEC)
- Interdisciplinary Research Grants (up to 48 months and between £400,000 and £800,000 fEC)
Interdisciplinary Innovation Awards
These Awards aims to support the development of innovative, adventurous, higher risk, interdisciplinary research, including projects at an earlier stage of interdisciplinary evolution and/or led by early career researchers.
Grants Available: Full proposals for up to £100,000 (fEC) up to 18 months will be considered. The types of interdisciplinary proposal supported under this heading could include, for example, exploratory or pilot studies and/or support for the development of new interdisciplinary partnerships and collaborations.
Focus Areas: These proposals can address any topic of relevance to the PaCCS conflict theme; they may address the three areas outlined for the larger interdisciplinary grants but do not need to be restricted to these areas.
Interdisciplinary Research Grants
These awards aim to support innovative interdisciplinary research proposals addressing one or more of the following strands within the Conflict theme:
- New Perspectives on the Changing Character and Mosaic of Conflict, and Transitions to and from Conflict, through Time
- Community Experiences of, and Responses to, Conflict
- Conflict in the Information Age
Grants Available: Proposals must be between £400,000- £800,000 (fEC) for up to 4 years addressing the three interdisciplinary research areas detailed in this call which have emerged from the consultation as areas where there is strong potential for innovative interdisciplinary research between the arts and humanities and social sciences. Approximately 5-7 awards will be granted under this category.
