Restricted Bids Selection Committee

The Restricted Bids Selection Committee is a sub-committee of the Research Policy Committee (RPC) and its role is to assess competing applications for restricted calls. The Restricted Bids Selection Committee comprises the Heads of Schools, a further RPC member from each School, and additional 4 members nominated by each School. The Pro-Vice Chancellor (PVC) (Research) is the Chair of the Sub-Committee and the secretary is an officer from the Research Strategy Office responsible for coordination of restricted calls.

The members of the Restricted Bids Selection Committee whose academic interests fall in the area of the call will be convened, either in person or virtually, to advise the PVC (Research) on the appropriate bid(s) for submission.
