[okfn-discuss] Fwd: JISC Grant Funding Call: 4/08 Learning and Teaching Innovation Grants

Wed Feb 24 13:42:35 UTC 2010

I wonder if we could apply to this with, e.g. a version of
Bibliographica specifically aimed at creating and sharing reading
lists for students?

***Apologies for Cross Posting***
JISC invites institutions to submit funding proposals for projects to
undertake work under the fifth round of its Learning and Teaching
Innovation Grants Programme.
JISC wishes to fund one year projects and activities that fit with the
vision, outcomes and principles of the JISC e-Learning programme and
support innovative approaches to learning and teaching. This is an
open call, and projects dealing with any aspect of e-learning are
welcomed. To reduce the initial investment in time and resource needed
to develop a traditional JISC proposal and to encourage speculative
and innovative ideas from the community bidders are invited to submit
outline proposals.
As with the last round, these outline proposals must be submitted via
email. The short form of these initial bids has also been retained and
we will be strictly enforcing word limits and content restrictions.
Please read the guidance and template in full - bids outside of the
required parameters will NOT be assessed.
JISC have run four previous rounds of the Learning and Teaching
Innovation Grant funding opportunity in May 2008, August 2008, January
2009 and July 2009. In total, the programme has supported 14 projects.
Bids should be submitted to ELEARNING-BIDS at JISC.AC.UK, using the
template provided. Letters of support will not be required at this
stage.
Funds of up to £50,000 for projects of one year duration are
available. JISC has committed at least £1,000,000 for this activity
over the life of this programme which commenced in May 2008.
Eligibility
Proposals may be submitted by HE institutions funded via HEFCE, SFC,
HEFCW and DEL Northern Ireland, and by FE institutions funded via SFC,
DCELLS Wales and DEL Northern Ireland. FE institutions in England that
teach HE to more than 400 FTEs are also eligible to bid provided
proposals demonstrate how the work supports the HE in FE agenda.
Proposals may be from single institutions or consortia. Partnership
arrangements may be developed outside the sector (for example with
research council sites, publishers, commercial suppliers), but the
lead partner must meet the criteria outlined above. Funds can only be
allocated through the lead partner.
Please note: The lead institution may only submit one proposal per
assessment point.
The next deadline for submissions is 12 noon UK time on 19 April 2010.
You can access the main call page here.
