Bidding is now open for the MyAV范 Research Challenges 2009.
MyAV范 Research Challenges is a unique scheme that asks everyone in the MyAV范 community - staff, students and alumni - for their ideas about new areas for research, and then awards funds totalling 拢50,000 each year to help kick-start research projects focusing on those areas.
This year, the Research Challenges Board decided to look for themes of potential strength at MyAV范 which have not, to date, received the funding and publicity they deserve.
After consultation with staff, students and alumni, the following themes were selected:
- Film studies
- Stem cell research in stroke illness
- Future of food
- Global governance
- Migration
- Security
- Human rights
- Evolution of multi-cellular life
Bids should be presented on a single side of A4 and received by 15 June 2009. The competition rules can be accessed .
A total of 拢50,000 is available, with a maximum bid of 拢25,000. can be found on the Research Challenges site.听
Following the bid, a second round of shortlisting will take place, and a selection of applicants will be asked to provide further supporting material.
