Grant funding for Communities of Interest
Call for proposals
The Enterprise Research Centre invites applications for funding for Communities of Interest around
specific research topics which can contribute to the evidence base on SME growth and development.
Three grants of up to £4,000 each are available to fund research networking activity, workshops or
seminars.
Applications for Community of Interest funding can be made by faculty in any UK university and
should be submitted to ERC by 6th
January 2014. Successful bids will be announced by 20th
January.
Funded activity should take place between February and July 2014.
Background
The Enterprise Research Centre (ERC) is an independent research centre which conducts policy
relevant research on SME growth and development. The ERC is being led by Professor Stephen
Roper (Warwick) and Professor Mark Hart (Aston).The ERC is a partnership between Warwick
Business School, Aston Business School, Imperial College Business School, Strathclyde Business
School, and Birmingham Business School. Funding is being provided by the Economic and Social
Research Council, the UK government Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, the British
Bankers’ Association and the Technology Strategy Board. Further details on the activities of ERC are
available at www.enterpriseresearch.ac.uk.
As part of its role in facilitating SME research in the UK, ERC is offering three grants to support the
development of Communities of Interest around specific SME research topics. Funding is intended to
support new research collaborations or networks which can contribute to the evidence base
supporting SME growth and development in the UK. Applications may relate to any area but
proposals on the following growth related themes are particularly welcome:
Models of university-SME engagement which support growth
Barriers or enablers of SME growth in emerging industries
Non-bank finance and SME growth
Mentoring, coaching and growth
MSB growth and development
Supporting effective commercialisation
Third-age entrepreneurship and growth
Emerging business models for growth
Social and community enterprise
Rural enterprise
2
Applications may be submitted by faculty members in any UK university. Proposals which are likely
to contribute to promoting SME growth and development in the UK are particularly welcomed as
will proposals which can demonstrate a strong profile of activity and potential outcomes. Proposals
which include collaboration between research organisations, firms or business support organisations
are also particularly welcome. We also particularly welcome applications which involve partners
from across all parts of the UK.
Decisions on funding will be made by the ERC senior management team and the ERC Funders’
Group. Proposals will be evaluated in two stages:
1. Stage 1 – Pass/Fail – only proposals which demonstrate the potential to make a contribution
to SME growth and development will move on to the second stage.
2. Stage 2 – Decision criteria – Funding decisions will be based on the following weighting:
Strength of the suggested programme of activity 30%
Strength of the project team 20%
Engagement of non-academic partners 20%
Potential contribution to supporting SME growth 30%
Funding cannot be used to cover salary costs but is intended to cover hosting, travel and
accommodation costs related to research networking activities, workshops and seminars. Funding is
not intended to run training events or development activities. Ideally projects would lead to further
applications for grant funding, knowledge exchange or further collaborative activity.Funded activity
would be expected to be undertaken between February and July 2014. Funded projects will be
expected to submit a brief interim report (after 3 months) and a short final activity report (3-4
pages) to ERC by end August 2014.
As the ERC contract holder CoI offers will be made from Warwick University. Proposals will form the
basis for a brief contractual agreement. Subject to receipt of the interim and final activity reports
and completion of the proposed programme of activity, costs will be reimbursed quarterly on receipt
of invoices.
