    英國經濟與社會研究理事會（Economic and Social Research Council，簡稱ESRC）是英國五個面向社會公開資助科學研究的政府機構之一，也是英國在經濟和社會科學方面最大、最主要的領域研究資助機構。ESRC的項目資金支持在商業、公共事業和社會組織等領域中具有影響的、獨立的高水平研究。

    此次項目申報的有關要求轉發如下：

The Department for International Development (DFID) and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) just announced a third call for applications under Phase 2 of their strategic partnership to provide a joint funding scheme for development research. £7 million is set aside for this third call.

The second phase of funding retains the overall 'poverty alleviation' theme from the first phase, and applications under this broad heading will still be eligible. However, ESRC and DFID have identified three thematic areas for this call where work will be of particular interest. These areas are:

    • Resource Scarcity, Growth and Poverty Reduction;

    • Information and Communication Technology and Development;

    • Measuring Development.

As well as research excellence, researchers must identify the potential impacts of their research on policy and practice and actively consider how these will be maximised and developed.

The deadline for applications is 16.00 on 27 September 2011.

Applications are invited for projects with a fEC value of between £100,000 and £500,000.

This scheme is open to UK and non-UK researchers based in higher education institutions, research organisations and organisations with a credible research capacity.
