Via our four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westminster.ac.uk\/research\/communities\">Research Communities<\/a> we will fund a small number of projects based in each Community which, taken together, will constitute a distinctive Westminster response, capitalising on our particular research strengths and expertise..<\/p>\n<p>This call focuses on research proposals in response to the COVID-19 crisis.\u00a0 The pandemic has led to massive upheaval and has caused disruption to everyday activity on a scale unprecedented since World War II. It is challenging to think of an aspect of contemporary life which has not been impacted.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants are invited to think creatively about the scope for responses from across our disciplines- we are not solely looking to the life sciences or biomedicine for projects although these are welcome. Contributions from a range of disciplines including the humanities; arts; social sciences and law; communication studies; finance and business studies; environmental and infrastructure planning; transport and logistics studies; design, and engineering will be welcome. This call welcomes proposals that seek to understand health, social, cultural and environmental impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and ways to alleviate\/recognise its impact. The call also welcomes proposals on adaptation to pandemics in general, for example future capacity and resilience, addressing the improved application of resources, technology or media.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For full details of the Call and to submit a proposal for Research Community funding <a href=\"https:\/\/westminster.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=2fdd398607ef8990c6d1c3227&amp;id=5432b974c4&amp;e=695114296f\">please visit the Call page online<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/westminster.us20.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=2fdd398607ef8990c6d1c3227&amp;id=96a634ca9c&amp;e=695114296f\">https:\/\/universityofwestminster.sharepoint.com\/sites\/00277\/SitePages\/Research-Communities-Funding-Call-COVID19-Response.aspx<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The deadline to submit the application is <u>23:59:59<\/u> on 29\/05\/20.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are excited to announce that University of Westminster, generously supported by the Quintin Hogg Trust, is announcing a one-off funding call for projects seeking to address issues arising from the COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic.
