[TABD] Grants at CEE

[Blanca Huertas]

For all CEE, GEE and LERN members

Dear Colleagues

The CEE Committee is delighted to announce another funding round.  The
grant round, however, will be the last to be financed through as award
from the University of London Vice Chancellors' Development fund made to
the CEE in 2007. The aim of the grant scheme is to foster collaborative
research across the CEE's participating institutions. In today's world,
the importance of understanding ecology and evolution goes far beyond
academic curiosity. With its breadth of membership, the CEE is in a
unique position to provide the cross-disciplinary research necessary to
make genuine progress in the field. The small grant scheme will
contribute to realising potential cross-institutional synergies.

Our aim is to assign several small grants to groups of researchers that
span two or more member institutions. Funding can be sought for a
variety of activities, including small research projects, workshops,
meetings between scientists in view of writing a review, setting up an
international collaboration or preparing a grant application. Grants are
assessed following the criteria listed at the end of this document.

Applications will be assessed by the CEE Committee, whose membership
covers the diverse areas of the CEE's interests and the different member
institutions. For further details and application forms visit the CEE's
grants and funding page here
<http://www.ceevol.co.uk/grants-and-funding/> , for direct queries
e-mail cee at ucl.ac.uk <mailto:cee at ucl.ac.uk> .

PhD students, postdoctoral researchers and academic or research staff
are all eligible to apply. PhD students should submit their application
through their supervisor, and it is important that the application shows
how the funding will add value to the PhD project. Applicants should
clearly state the ecological/evolutionary question the study will
address and should indicate how they intend to follow up the research
with an application for larger-scale funding. Successful applicants will
be expected to report progress to the CEE Steering Committee by an
annual report and a short, post-project seminar to the CEE community.

The deadline for this round is Friday 3 February 2012, 5pm. Awards will
be announced in late February.

 Assessment criteria

The members of the CEE Steering Committee will assess grant proposals
according to the following criteria:

- Quality of science

- Output (clearly defined, time-limited, achievable)

- Collaborative aspect (novel collaboration or new direction in existing
collaboration)

- Fit to scheme (CEE remit, lack of alternative funding sources)

- Costs acceptable and reasonable

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

With warmest wishes for the festive season,

Jane Dempster

On behalf of the CEE Committee
