Hi Keith, Phil and Tim,
Please find attached an outline bid for the NERC Consortium bid we
discussed at the end of last year. I must apologise for the delay in
getting back to you. Exeter has suddenly gone mad with appointments
of staff and postgrads. It's all good fun but it's taken up a lot of
my time over the past couple of months.
For a NERC Consortium we need to put in a 2 page document as an
expression of interest. If approved we can then go forward for
submission. The next deadline is 1 July.
Can you have a look at the attached and let me know what you think?
Could you let me know what sort of support you'd need if we go
forward. We have up to £3.5 million to spend over 5 years. Included
in the document we have to include a summary of the funding we'd like
to get from NERC, any other funds we have in support and other
benefits e.g. training. For the latter we envisaged approximately 1
postdoc and 2 PhDs per UK institution.
I'm currently in Copenhagen for a meeting so my email contact will be
a little erratic but am back Friday.
Hope things are going well.
All the best,
Chris
