The
Unlocking the Potential for Groundwater for the Poor is a £10m international
programme to fund interdisciplinary research, generating evidence and
innovative tools to enable developing countries and their partners in
sub-Saharan Africa to use groundwater in a sustainable way for the ultimate
benefit of the poor. It is funded by DFID, NERC and in principle ESRC.
This
call is for outline Catalyst Grant proposals which will provide an opportunity
for the world’s best researchers to develop and test new innovative ideas for
addressing the programme’s aim of enabling sustainable use of groundwater for
the benefit of the poor. It is also an opportunity to facilitate the
development of new interdisciplinary teams that bring developing and developed
country scientists together.
Proposals
are invited for funding of up to £150,000 (FEC). This call has a total
available budget of up to £1•5m. Projects will be funded for a maximum duration
of one year.
Submission
of an Outline Proposal is mandatory in order to participate in the funding
round at the full proposal stage.
All
Outline Proposals will be assessed by an Assessment Panel and successful
applicants will be notified by the start of February 2013 that they are able to
proceed to the Full Proposal stage.
The
closing date for outline proposals is 16:00 UK local time (GMT/UTC) on Thursday
10 January 2013. For more information, visit this link.
