Panel and Board members Panel members assess topic suggestions and commissioning briefs for future calls, or first stage research applications arising from calls. Commissioning Board members assess applications for funding to the HS&DR programme.
Vacancies arise from time to time on our panel or boards. We advertise all such vacancies on our website, and usually on other relevant sites. We recruit members through an open appointment process involving an application and interview. Current opportunities are advertised on our vacancies page.
Research applicant The HS&DR programme commissions research in two different ways: by advertising standard calls for research proposals that address specific topics as agreed by our panels, and by funding research proposed directly by researchers. Details of funding opportunities, including deadlines for researcher-led applications will be available from mid-January 2012. If you would like us to alert you by email when future calls go out, please email us. |
