The Centre for Higher Education Research, Innovation and Learning invites project funding bids
The Centre for Higher Education Research, Innovation and Learning (CHERIL) based within the Manchester Institute of Education (MIE) is launching a programme of project funding for the 2016-17 academic year.
The Centre welcomes bids that support our broad aims of enhancing teaching and learning, outlined in the CHERIL Strategy.
In this round of funding we particularly welcome bids that will assist the University to better understand:
- Differential attainment: what approaches can we use to ensure that students from all backgrounds achieve degree results reflective of their capabilities?
- Teaching quality: what approaches can we use to further enhance the quality of teaching and to enable deeper and more enquiring forms of student learning?
- Transitions: further to the changes in secondary education (Peal 2015), what are the implications for successful transitioning into higher education?
A launch event for the funding programme, led by Director of CHERIL Professor Stephanie Marshall, will be held on Monday, 4 July, from 1.10pm to 3pm, in the Alan Turing Building (G207).
There will be an opportunity to find out more about the funding programme and to meet with award-holders from last year.

We anticipate that in most cases individual project funding will not exceed £20,000 and in many cases will be considerably less. Bids in excess of £20,000 will be considered but will need to include a detailed breakdown of funding requirements, and will be subject to additional scrutiny.
The deadline for submitting a bid for CHERIL funding is 5 September 2016.
