UOM NERC Disciplinary Hopping for Discovery Science

我们的研究机构在曼彻斯特大学的战略优势领域提供多学科研究的领导和协调。曼彻斯特环境研究所(MERI)为环境研究提供这项服务，并与姊妹机构一起，提供领导，为影响我们星球的许多挑战提供解决方案。我们的NERC资助的环境研究集中在我们所有3个学院的多个系中，其中最著名的是地球和环境科学系、环境、教育和发展学院以及生物科学系。然而，与NERC相关的更广泛的环境研究活动在校园内存在，展示了我们的跨学科努力。MERI主任将成为NERC学科跳跃基金的负责任的“所有者”。该基金将由MERI和SF支持团队管理。这将包括为署长提供支持，以便从宣布到最后报告期间高效率和有效地管理基金。可持续未来平台管理委员会将监督基金在大学的管理。MERI董事将在定期会议上向董事会报告基金的进展情况。SF平台将在基金结束日期后不久举办一场活动，展示项目。可持续期货平台的董事和MERI的董事已经联合开发了一个内部电话会议，以确保其达到上述目标和《国家能源政策研究指南》中规定的目标。目前正在组建一个审查小组，其中将包括来自可持续未来平台董事会、MERI管理小组的不同学科的组成，特别是依赖挑战领导，其作用是促进平台的跨学科重点。和相关部门的主要成员。我们的目标是在2022年12月1日启动该基金。在曼彻斯特大学，我们致力于在我们所做的一切中实现多样性和包容性。PI将直接监督平等、多样性、包容性和无障碍(EDIA)事项，并将把EDIA作为这次呼吁的一个中心方面。为了确保符合条件的工作人员有平等的机会获得机会，环境、教育和发展学院(人文)和地球和环境科学系(科学和工程系)的edia委员会代表将审查草案。审查小组将被任命，以确保性别和种族多样性的平衡，并反映一系列职业阶段。专家小组将包括SEED和DEES电子媒体委员会的成员。在奖项的选择和实施中，将考虑兼职工作、有限的工作时间和灵活的工作方法。受保护特征监测将由MERI管理团队进行，并根据曼彻斯特大学该部门和研究领域的统计数据进行报告。

Our research institutes provide leadership and coordination of multi-disciplinary research in areas of strategic strengths at The University of Manchester. The Manchester Environment Research Institute (MERI) provides this for environmental research, and together with sister institutes, provides leadership to deliver solutions to many of the challenges affecting our planet. Our NERC funded environmental research is housed in a number of departments across all 3 of our faculties, most notably in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, the School of Environment, Education and Development, and the Division of Biological Sciences. However, wider activities in environmental research relevant to NERC exists across campus, showcasing our interdisciplinary efforts.The MERI Director will be the responsible "owner" for the NERC Discipline-hopping fund.The fund will be administered by the MERI and SF support teams. This will include providing support to the Director to efficiently and effectively administer the fund from the announcement to final reporting.The Sustainable Futures Platform Management Board will provide oversight of the management of the Fund at the University. The MERI Director will report progress of the fund to the Board at its regular meetings.The SF Platform will host an event shortly after the fund end date to showcase the projects.An internal call is already being developed jointly by the Directors of the Sustainable Futures Platform and MERI, ensuring that it meets the aims above and those laid out in the NERC Guidance.A review panel is being assembled that will include a disciplinarily diverse composition from the Sustainable Futures Platform Board, the MERI Management Group, particularly relying on the Challenge leads whose role it is to promote the inter-disciplinary foci of the Platform, and key members of relevant Departments.The ambition is to start the fund on 1st December 2022.At the University of Manchester, we are committed to diversity and Inclusivity in all that we do. The PI will take direct oversight of Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility (EDIA) matters and will champion EDIA as a central aspect of this call. To ensure that eligible staff have equal access to the opportunity, the draft call will be reviewed by EDIA Committee representatives from both the School of Environment, Education and Development (Humanities) and the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences (Science and Engineering)The review panel will be appointed to ensure balance of gender, and ethnic diversity and reflect a range of career stages. Members of the EDIA Committees of SEED and DEES will be included on the panel. Consideration of part-time working, limited hours working and flexible approaches to work will be made in the selection and implementation of awards.Protected characteristics monitoring will be undertaken by the MERI administrative team and reported against the statistics for the sector and the research areas at the University of Manchester.
