Alcohol Research UK funding calls: research grants & studentships
Applications are open for the 2016 Alcohol Research UK Research Innovation Grants programme, which must be received by 1 November 2016.
The research priority for 2016-17 is treatment and recovery today. Proposals are sought that seek to capture the nature of changes within the alcohol services sector and aim to produce findings that can have a positive impact on policy and or practice. Applicants must read both the Alcohol Research UK Research Strategy and the appropriate Guide for Applicants documents before developing a submission. See here for further details.
Alcohol Research UK are also offering to match fund up to three studentships to enable research in the alcohol field leading to a PhD. The university applying must be willing to match fund or have an offer of match funding (i.e. at least £10,000 per annum for three years) from an appropriate organisation, such as the ESRC, before they can apply. Deadline for applications is 29 November 2016 - further details here.
'Alcohol Research Grapevine' launched
Recently the Institute of Alcohol Studies and Alcohol Research UK have been developing an online alcohol research directory; the Alcohol Research Grapevine. Its primary functions are:
- To allow researchers to upload profiles listing publications and outlining areas of professional interest
- To create a searchable database of published, but also (importantly) ongoing and prospective research
- To support collaboration by helping researchers to find colleagues working in similar areas, or to publicise areas of work they are interested in pursuing
- To allow researchers to notify colleagues of available data that may benefit from further analysis
