15/10 Grant Call – latest AIM funding October 4, 2010
Posted by chriscb in : AIM, Events, Projects , trackbackToday (4 October 2010) sees the launch of the JISC Grant Funding 15/10: JISC Infrastructure for Education and Research Programme Call. The following text has been sent out to the JISC-Announce mailing list and contains links to all the important information. Particularly relevant to the AIM programme is the Identity Management Pilots strand within the call. This is basically looking at early adopter projects for institutions to use the Identity Management Toolkit to assess and review their identity management processes and policies. I am looking forward to reading some interesting bids.
The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) invites institutions to submit funding proposals for projects in a number of areas to improve the infrastructure for education and research. The call is available on the JISC website at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/fundingopportunities/funding_calls/2010/10/grant1510.aspx.
The closing date for proposals is 12:00 noon UK time on Monday 15 November 2010. Funding is available for projects starting from February 2011, for up to 12 months.
A briefing paper has been produced to accompany this call. The briefing paper is also available on the JISC website at http://www.jisc.ac.uk/media/documents/funding/2010/10/1510briefingpaper.pdf. Bidders are strongly advised to read the relevant areas of the briefing paper alongside the call document.
A community briefing event is being held on Monday 11 October 2010, from 10.00am -16.30pm at London House [http://www.londonhouse.org.uk/], Goodenough College, London. Potential bidders will be given information about the background to the call, its objectives and the bidding process. There will be opportunities to ask questions of JISC executive staff, and for one-to-one discussions with JISC programme managers about specific areas of the call. Members of the community are invited to register for the meeting at https://www.eventsforce.net/jisc/frontend/reg/thome.csp?pageID=17809&eventID=70. The total number of participants at the briefing event is restricted so institutions should register as soon as possible.
