The AHRC expect universities to exercise demand management for the AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Awards call and therefore a special Research Proposal Review Service (RPRS) has been convened.
Therefore, colleagues wishing to submit an application to this call should adhere to the following time scale:
Colleagues are reminded of the following:
- Throughout the development of their proposals, they should be liaising with RKE operations to ensure all the relevant costings and other bid information is developed in a timely manner.
- Adherence to AHRC guidance is crucial. In particular, colleagues should note that partnership working is especially important feature of this call. Notably from the guidance, the non-HEI partner is required to provide supervisory time and desk space as in-kind contributions. A written agreement is seen as essential for this partnership working alongside regularly reviewed project plans.
