• Advanced Quantitative Methods (3 awards)
• Data Skills (3 awards)
• Interdisciplinary research which straddles other research council remits (3 awards)

We encourage applicants to identify if their proposed project fits into a Priority Area, as this may strengthen their application and will be considered positively in terms of fit with a priority area.
