>Designing for the 21st Century is a joint initiative between 
>the AHRC and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research 
>Council (EPSRC). It has a budget of £6.5m and will run from 
>2005 to 2009. By working together, the AHRC and the EPSRC hope 
>to encourage applicants from across the remits of both funding 
>bodies to work collaboratively and foster understanding of the 
>different perspectives of design research. The initiative 
>itself aims to support leading-edge design research which will 
>explore new modes of design thinking suitable for the 
>challenges of designing for 21st Century society.
>
>The AHRC and EPSRC are now inviting applications for research 
>project grants under the second phase of this initiative. 
>Applications are welcome which are structured in the most 
>appropriate form to deliver the research objectives identified 
>in the project proposal. It is anticipated that this call will 
>be highly competitive and the available budget will allow up 
>to 20 awards to be supported. The call will support a 
>portfolio of research projects of between 12 and 24 months in 
>duration, and for between £20,000 and £400,000 (fEC).
>
>The closing date for the receipt of applications is 4pm on 6 April 2006
