Deadline: July 15,
2014
Outline proposals are
invited for a new funding opportunity as part of the Future Climate
for Africa (FCFA) research
programme funded by the Department for International Development (DFID) and
NERC. FCFA is a £20m international, interdisciplinary programme to advance
scientific understanding and prediction of African climate variability and
change to inform medium-term adaptation decisions (5-40 years), and develop the
knowledge, data and tools to better integrate this science into decision making
today.
This call is for Regional Consortium Grant outline proposals,
which will provide an opportunity for the world's best researchers to undertake
large-scale, complex and interdisciplinary natural and social science research
addressing the three pillars of FCFA:
- World-leading
scientific research to advance understanding and prediction of African
climate variability and change over medium-term timescales (5 to 40 years)
- Interdisciplinary
research to support better integration of science into decision making
- Pilot
studies, co-produced with users, to demonstrate the use of climate
information and tools in real decisions.
Proposals are invited
for funding of up to £4m full economic cost (FEC) per consortium. This call has
a total available budget of £12m. Proposals will be funded for a maximum
duration of four years with an expected start date of April 2015.
Proposals are expected to cover all three research pillars of
FCFA for a defined region of sub-Saharan Africa and are required to make the
case for the geographic region to be addressed in terms of the opportunity to
deliver world-leading science and the potential to make clear improvements in
the quality and availability of climate information, adding value to existing
science and initiatives.
This is a global open call that welcomes international
applicants, particularly those based in sub-Saharan Africa. Please see the
Announcement of Opportunity for full eligibility criteria.
Submission
of an outline proposal is mandatory in order to participate in the funding
round at the Full Proposal stage.
All outline proposals will be assessed by an assessment panel
and successful applicants will be notified by the end of August 2014 that they
are able to proceed to the full proposal stage.
Applicants who are successful at the outline proposal stage, and
thus invited to submit a full proposal, will be invited to a virtual workshop.
At least one representative from each successful outline proposal will be
expected to attend.
The closing date for outline proposals is 16:00 UK local time
(GMT+1) on Tuesday 15 July
2014. Outline proposal forms must be submitted as an email to
the FCFA Secretariat at
