UKRI Interdisciplinary Assessment College

Closed 20 Jun 2023

Opened 25 Apr 2023

Results expected 21 Jul 2023

Overview

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) invited applications from across the research system for panel chairs and panel members for a new “Interdisciplinary Assessment College” (IAC). This is a unique opportunity to be part of an important new approach to funding interdisciplinary research.

The college will support the new UKRI cross research council responsive mode pilot scheme, which is designed to support new interdisciplinary ideas emerging from the research community outside current disciplinary boundaries. This will open a new route for research ideas that transcend, combine or significantly span disciplines. More information on the pilot scheme can be found on the UKRI website here: https://www.ukri.org/opportunity/ukri-cross-research-council-responsive-mode-pilot-scheme/

Applications to the college were open to everyone with experience of interdisciplinary research, from academic and non-academic backgrounds (including business, public and third sector organisations), and from across the diverse range of roles needed for successful research (including, for example, technicians and professional services). We are seeking college members from early, mid and late career stages. Further information on who we are looking for (including the person specification), the role of panel chairs and panel members, and how we will assess your application can be found here: https://www.ukri.org/about-us/work-for-us/join-an-advisory-committee-panel-or-network/ukri-interdisciplinary-assessment-college/

Members of the college will still be eligible to apply for funding through the UKRI research council responsive mode pilot scheme.

Closing date: This opportunity has now closed, as of 4pm, 20 June 2023. There will be opportunities to join the college in the future.

If you have any questions about the Interdisciplinary Assessment College, please contact ukrirm@ukri.org.
