EOI deadline 28th Jan for 18-19 Feb Board meeting. In order for a new, major project to be considered for funding by STFC, a Statement of Interest (SoI) describing the proposed project and detailing the full economic cost of the proposed programme, must be submitted for evaluation. Guidelines and the Statement of Interest proforma can be found below.

The consideration of a Statement of Interest (SoI) is the first step in the STFC review of any major, new proposal. An SoI may be submitted to signify the intention to submit a full proposal.

SoIs may include:
鈥�Participation in new experiments or missions
鈥�The further development of existing high priority experiments or missions
鈥�The development of new instruments
鈥�New detectors or accelerator technologies
鈥�Upgrades to existing detectors
鈥�The purchase of new, or upgrades to, existing major high performance computing facilities
鈥�New initiatives in the field of e-science, modelling and data management

SoIs are considered by the Science Board and can be submitted at any time. Where appropriate, the Accelerator Strategy Board will also consider the SoI.

If Science Board recommends that a full proposal should be invited following the consideration of the SoI, this will be reviewed by the STFC's Projects Peer Review Panel (PPRP).

NB Deadline TBC NERC CENTA PhD studentship proposals to start October 2019.

NB DEADLINE TBC (end of January 2019)

Please read the information carefully – especially the layout required. Please send projects to pgbio@warwick.ac.uk by Friday 19th October 2018 (each project proposal should be accompanied by one training proposal). Project Proposal Training Proposal
As usual projects need to be within NERC remit and there needs to be a minimum of TWO supervisors per project. Moreover, if the principle supervisor has no previous NERC funding or applications then they should find a co-supervisor who has.
Please note the following:

1. We aim at a high number of proposals being co-developed with our core Level-1 and Level-2 external partners. Please advise Robin Allaby if you are making contact with an external partners. If a new individual HEI/RC link to one of our L1/2 external partners can be created, this is also very good. The attached list of lead contact details of our L1/L2 partners should serve to facilitate this.
The supervisor induction day (planned for 28th September) will be designed to include as many Level1/2 partners as possible to facilitate new links to CENTA2 potential supervisors. More details will be provided in due course.
2. We also aim to increase the amount of projects being co-designed by potential students. Please flag this in the project proposal form if appropriate.
3. Host-Institution: We have the novelty in CENTA2 that our RC partners can be hosting institution. Nevertheless, the awarding institution will be a HEI/University. For the moment and to avoid confusion: The form is asking for the University-Host, this should be the awarding institution. The PI may come from the RC and will have the lead in this project, but all proposal must have a at least one Co-Supervisor from one University partner. Thus, please indicate the University Host by selecting from the drop-down menu in the proposal document and give the PI institution in the PI information field.
4. The new CENTA2 Flagship projects and its definition:
CENTA2 will advertise ~25% of our studentships as 鈥淔lagship鈥� projects, with factors such as: end-user or student project co-development, CASE or collaboration status, external end-user supervision, multi-institutional supervision across CENTA2, diversity and multidisciplinarity of the supervisory team.
 
The likely timeline:
鈥� 1.11.18 - Upload of adverts to website;
鈥� end of January 2019 (TBC) – Studentship application deadline;
鈥� mid-Feb 2019 – Date for interviews.
