Update on JISC Content Call 06/11
The peer review panels for the JISC Content Call (06/11) were held last week, for all three strands.
Recommendations for funding have now been made and these will be circulated to the markers who were unable to attend the meetings last week.
Once the recommendations have been approved, JISC Policy staff will be in touch with applicants to notify them whether they have been successful or not. This is likely to be the week beginning 3rd October 10th October – we have had to delay this because of staff illness.
Successful applicants will be informed of any conditions they need to meet prior being awarded funding. Unsuccessful applicants will be able to request feedback.
Details of the strands and the number of applicants are elsewhere on the JISC Digitisation blog
