How should applicants decide which fields of research to select on the online form?
Applicants should choose the two most appropriate categories given on the Research Field page. These categories will not be used to determine research standing through bibliometric analysis but will be used to assess distribution of awards within research fields. If you do not believe that you are represented by more than one field, please select the same field in both drop-down lists. Q: If an applicant’s research does not readily fit within the research field categories available on the online form, can the applicant submit details of their publications using the ‘other’ category? A: Yes: where research is in a relatively narrow field with findings published in generalist journals research field may be given as ‘Other’. However applicants should be aware that the ‘Other’ category may be heavily subscribed and thus highly competitive relative to the specified fields.
