We’re delighted to announce that AD|ARC has been included as a flagship dataset for the ADR UK research fellowships call opening today.

We have previously discussed our ambition to build a community of AD|ARC researchers and this is the first funding opportunity that can support that objective. If you know of any researchers interested in applying for a fellowship, we would be very keen to discuss how we could collaborate to best secure funding and deliver useful outputs.

For this call, only the AD|ARC Research Ready Data England and Wales are within scope but applications can come from eligible researchers anywhere in the UK.

Researchers can apply for a fellowship grant of 18 months in duration, up to a maximum of £200,000 per annum at 100% full economic cost (FEC) of which ESRC will fund 80%. Register your interest in applying for a fellowship by 4pm on 28th March.

Further information is available at the ADR UK webpage: Administrative Data | Agricultural Research Collection – England and Wales – ADR UK

The User Guides and metadata for the England and Wales datasets will be published on our website shortly: Documentation – AD|ARC (adarc.ac.uk)

We will be holding a webinar about the AD|ARC datasets and the fellowship at 10am on 13^th March. Register for the event here: ADR UK Research Fellowships: Applicant webinar – AD|ARC Tickets, Wed 13 Mar 2024 at 10:00 | Eventbrite
