News from Smart Data Research UK
It’s been an exciting few days for the Smart Data Research UK (SDR UK) team, and we wanted to share some of the highlights!
Data Services Grant Call - Now Live
Yesterday we launched a major funding call for data services, comprising teams of experts in research institutes across the country. They will work to acquire, steward and enable safe access to smart data.
With a total investment of up to £30 million, the teams will position the UK at the forefront of smart data research and innovation.
The data services will build long-term partnerships with data owners, demonstrate the potential of smart data through innovative research projects, and provide technical infrastructure, governance and user support to a broad community of researchers.
To find out more, please visit the UKRI Funding Finder. The deadline for proposals is Thursday, 2 May 2024.
