Application Process
This year, Not-Equal have made some exciting changes to the application process based on feedback from network partners. The Call will not have an Expression of Interest (EoI) stage. Applicants will have the opportunity to post their ideas to the new Catalyst website prior to application, in order to find a project partner. Not-Equal will also host several events to assist finding partners, developing ideas and writing applications – see the next section for more details about these activities.
To submit an application please fill out the Project Application Form and email to notequal@newcastle.ac.uk before 5pm on 29th May 2020.
Following submission, applications will go through three rounds of shortlisting. Initially applications will be reviewed by a panel of academic experts, then by the Not-Equal Community Panel and the final funding decisions will be made by the Not-Equal academic team.
To learn more about the review criteria and application process please read Terms of Reference 2020.
