ESRC Knowledge Exchange Opportunities Scheme Open

This scheme provides researchers with an opportunity to engage with organisations in the private, public and civil society sector(s) on a social science issue. 

The KE Opportunities Scheme now covers activities at all stages of the research process; from setting up networks to help inform the first stages of research; to the development of activities designed to apply previous research to policy and practice issues (previously covered by the ESRC Follow on Fund Scheme).

Please note this is a collaborative scheme and, as such, all applications must include at least 25% co-funding from partner(s) in the user community (depending on the sector involved). For further details, including how to apply, visit:  http://www.esrc.ac.uk/funding-and-guidance/collaboration/knowledge-exchange/opportunities/index.aspx 

This call opens on 14 December 2011 and closes at 16.00 on 7 February 2012.  

There have been a number of changes to this call from previous ESRC Knowledge Exchange calls. For this reason, please ensure you have read the guidance notes carefully before submitting your proposal.
