The Centre for Digital Built Britain (CDBB) invites proposals from eligible early career researchers for research projects aligned with the CDBB mission to develop and demonstrate policy and practical insights that will enable the exploitation of new and emerging technologies, data and analytics to enhance the natural and built environment, thereby driving up commercial competitiveness and productivity, as well as citizen quality of life and well-being’. We encourage new ideas from early career researchers and appropriate proposals are welcomed from those with limited research experience.
Successful applicants are required to provide interim and final reports of key findings at appropriate points during the research project and to participate in knowledge exchange activity including events, communications materials and case studies.
Project selection will be based on criteria including research quality, practical applicability, potential impact in the short/mid-term, interdisciplinary approach, and value for money. The call is for applications ranging from £50,000 to £100,000 (to include VAT if relevant) for a period of nine months. The awarded researchers are required to invest at least the 50% of their working time in the development of the CDBB research project during the 9 months funding.
CDBB is searching for multiple projects covering different disciplines to support the breadth of the Centre’s mission. There will be opportunities for collaboration between the projects during the funding period. The funding period is from the 10th of October 2018 to the 10th of July 2019.
