<p>Dear All,</p>
<p>Please see below and attached an opportunity for academic and/or
research staff to engage with high attaining, yet socially and
economically disadvantaged, final year school students over the
summer period via an Nuffield sponsored online project. <br>
</p>
<p>If you are research staff and have a suitable project, please
discuss with your line-manager.</p>
<p>I think this would be a good project to get involved with as, in
addition to helping out school students from low socio-economic
backgrounds, it may also help open up other funding opportunities
via the Nuffield Foundation:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/funding">https://www.nuffieldfoundation.org/funding</a></p>
<p>Pleasse let me know if you are considering applying and note the
deadline in the email below for expressing interest of 26 May.<br>
</p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Brian.<br>

<blockquote type="cite">Dear all,
<p class="MsoPlainText">Can you help to inspire the next
generation of researchers? The Nuffield Future
Researchers programme is looking for physics researchers
who can provide supervised online physics research
projects for post-16 students who can work
independently.
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">This programme, has been developed
in response to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and
the need to move to an online model of the

Research Placements</a> programme during summer 2020.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Equipped with plenty of detailed
knowledge about the skills that placements develop, we
have created a set of online activities that will
stretch and develop students’ research, data analysis
and essential skills. We are looking for these to be
complemented by collaboration with knowledge experts on
a research question. These supervised research question
activities will be set within a Virtual Learning
Environment over a three to four-week period in July and
August.</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The students we target are high
attaining yet socially and economically disadvantaged,
who are considering physics related further study and
careers. These students are currently facing a long
period away from formal learning and the importance of
enrichment and extension activities like this have
probably never been greater.
</p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">There are a large number of
students from these backgrounds who have already
registered for the programme this summer. The limiting
factor is the number of physics researchers to support
these students, so the Nuffield Foundation is seeking
new researchers to supervise projects. </p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The Institute of Physics is
assisting the Nuffield Foundation to promote NFR to help
to source more physics project supervisors this summer.
