At Aberystwyth University (AU) we will allocate the Cross-disciplinary research in Discovery Science award via open competition for a suite of smaller activities. This will be achieved through an existing mechanism set up to award our internal University Research Fund, albeit the call will be tailored to specify the requirements of this cross-disciplinary award. This tailored approach has been used successfully in the past at AU to achieve the goals of the NERC Discipline-hopping scheme (2021/22). For the proposed NERC Cross-disciplinary research in Discovery Science scheme at AU, awards of up to £20k will be made to Research teams, although awards of a higher amount may be considered as an exception if a case can be made and there is a convincing plan to utilise the budget within the available timeframe. The internal call will be launched in late October with the aim of making awards in late November to start early December. Researchers from all disciplines will be eligible to apply as long as the primary focus is on cross-disciplinary research within NERC Discovery Science. Applications will be assessed by the University's Research and Innovation Task Group (RITG) and will be scored against criteria in-line with the purpose of the cross-disciplinary award. By making this scheme an open call, all academic staff who are eligible (academics and researchers employed by AU at lecturer (or equivalent) level or above and Post-Doctoral Research Assistants) will have the opportunity to apply. The call guidance will also explicitly state that applications involving Early Career Researchers and individuals from under-represented groups are particularly encouraged. Successful applicants who are Early Career Researchers will be allocated a mentor (a Senior Researcher from their Faculty) to provide additional support as required. The diversity of applicants to, and award recipients of, open call Cross-disciplinary research in Discovery Science funding will be monitored by RITG with the support of the AU Diversity and Inclusion Manager. Equality impact assessment results will be used to reflect on funding allocations and inform our AU evidence base to identify positive changes in the applicant diversity as well as opportunities to make further improvements in future processes, in accordance with the AU Strategic Equality Plan 2020-2024.

在阿伯里斯特威斯大学（Au），我们将通过公开竞争为一系列较小的活动分配发现科学奖的跨学科研究。我们会透过现有的大学内部研究基金拨款机制，以达致上述目的，不过，我们会因应这项跨学科拨款的要求而作出特别安排。这种定制的方法过去曾在Au成功地用于实现NERC跳频计划（2021/22）的目标。对于Au拟议的NERC跨学科研究发现科学计划，将向研究团队提供高达20，000英镑的奖励，但如果可以提出案例，并且有令人信服的计划在可用的时间范围内使用预算，则可以将更高金额的奖励视为例外。内部电话将于10月下旬启动，目的是在11月下旬开始颁奖，12月初开始颁奖。来自所有学科的研究人员都有资格申请，只要主要关注NERC发现科学内的跨学科研究。申请将由大学的研究和创新工作组（RITG）进行评估，并将根据跨学科奖项的目的进行评分。透过公开招募，所有合资格的教学人员（受聘于Au的讲师（或同等学历）或以上级别的学者和研究人员，以及博士后研究助理）都有机会申请。电话指南还将明确指出，特别鼓励涉及早期职业研究人员和来自代表性不足群体的个人的申请。成功申请的早期职业研究人员将被分配一名导师（来自其学院的高级研究员），以提供所需的额外支持。在Au多样性和包容性经理的支持下，RITG将对申请人和获奖者的多样性进行监测。根据《Au 2020-2024年战略平等计划》，平等影响评估结果将用于反映资金分配情况，并为我们的Au证据库提供信息，以确定申请人多样性的积极变化以及在未来程序中进一步改进的机会。
