<P><FONT size=2>** High Priority **<BR><BR>The AHRC & EPSRC have announced a
call for 12-24 month research projects to continue the work of the Designing for
the 21st Century Inititative. Details of the call can be found at
www.ahrc.ac.uk/design21 and at www.design21.dundee.ac.uk All relevant
documentation can be downloaded from the AHRC site.<BR><BR>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.<BR><BR>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).<BR><BR>The closing date
for the receipt of applications is 4pm on 6 April 2006<BR><BR>Professor Tom
