NCRM Methodological Research Projects
These details relate to the December 2016 intention to submit for the 2017 round of applications.
The National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM) is pleased to invite proposals from early career researchers (ECRs)* for Projects that will undertake cutting edge methodological research development in one or more of the following areas:
- Methods for assessing and enhancing survey data quality
- Analysis of longitudinal data
- Innovation in Ethnographic approaches
- Bayesian data analysis
- Innovation in Visual methods
The Research Projects will be part of a programme of research coordinated by the National Centre for Research Methods (NCRM), and will work with the Director and Co-Directors to achieve the Centre’s strategic objectives. The projects will run for between 12 and 18 months, commencing on 1 September 2017. A total of £625,000 (fEC, ESRC contribution £500,000) is available. The budget for each individual Research Project is up to a maximum of £125,000 (fEC, ESRC contribution £100,000) over a maximum of 18 months. It is expected that one project will be commissioned in each project area (subject to quality thresholds being met), although projects may span more than one topic area
(e.g. ethnographic and longitudinal methods or Bayesian Data Analysis for assessing survey data quality).
