Recent Grants
We are very keen to develop collaborative research links with others inside and outside the University community. Recent grants include:
- NCSE funding has been renewed for a further 5 years, by a grant from EPSRC and NERC. The money is spread between several universities, and will support 4 PDRAs as well as research students. The total value of the grant (fec) is £1,171,828
- Dr X Wang and Prof S. G. Walker have been awarded a KTP grant by Technology Strategy Board (TSB). The total award is £124,776, and will support a KTP associate.
- Prof B. J. T. Morgan is CoI on a new NERC grant obtained by Richard Griffiths in Dice; this would result in a small amount of income to SMSAS.
- Prof B. J. T. Morgan is Co-investigator on a NERC grant obtained byProfessor Richard Griffiths, of the Durrell Institute of Conservation Ecology, entitled, "Development of standardised protocols for assessing reptile and amphibian populations."
- A BBSRC grant entitled "Modelling yeast prion dynamics in the living cell" has been awarded to Professors Martin Ridout and Byron Morgan, in collaboration with Professor Mick Tuite and Dr. Tobias van der Haar in Biosciences. This grant is part of the Centre for Molecular Processing, and builds on a previous, successful large grant from the BBSRC. It supports the work of two post-doctoral research associates, one in the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science, and one in Biosciences. The collaboration involves devising and fitting complex stochastic models to data genreated in Biosciences laboratory experiments. The total value of the grant (fec) is £736,611.
- Eryl Bassett leads statistical work on the GH-2004 project which aims to devise a test to detect athletes doping with growth hormone, a banned substance.The team includes medical researchers from Southampton University and King's College London, and has received total funding of over $1,200,000 from the United States and World Anti-Doping Agencies.
- Professor Byron Morgan has a Royal Society grant worth £11,446 for a project entitled, "New Statistical Methodology for Wildlife Population Dynamics". The grant is for joint research with colleagues in CNRS Montpellier, involving also Diana Cole and Rachel McCrea.
