HEIF-6: funding now available for innovative KE projects
broad range of knowledge-based interactions between them and the wider world, which result in economic and social benefit to the UK. The current round of funding is referred to as HEIF-6 and runs from August 2017 to July 2022.
An internal call is now open for applications from BU colleagues who wish to develop innovative projects. Funding will be awarded to those applications that clearly demonstrate how new/existing collaborations will be developed and how societal/economic impact will be achieved. Interdisciplinary and/or cross-Faculty/PS proposals are encouraged, as are proposals with international collaborators.
We anticipate making awards of £25k-100k per project per year. Projects should be between one and three years in duration and must align to one of BU’s HEIF-6 themes:
- Advanced manufacturing
- Health (focusing on digital health and e-health)
- Digital and creative
Colleagues wishing to apply should read BU’s HEIF-6 strategy and the HEIF-6 FAQs before completing the HEIF-6 application form. These documents can be found on the i-drive (I:\RDS\Public\HEIF 6). Applications must be supported by the Project Lead’s Faculty and signed by the relevant Deputy Dean (Research and Professional Practice). Any queries should be sent to Ehren Milner (emilner@bournemouth.ac.uk) in the first instance.
The panel will ensure the consistency, quality, robustness and inclusiveness of the funding allocation process by adhering to BU2025 Research Development Principles
Completed applications should be sent to (HEIF@bournemouth.ac.uk) by midnight on
11th June 2019.
We aim to confirm the outcomes by mid-August
