It's tenable from Sept 2010 and open to UK and EU nationals. The focus

is on proposals that seek to conduct research in new media

technologies on citizen participation and election campaigning.

Proposals that are comparative in nature and that will examine how

political and social context shapes and mediates the effects of

developments in communication technology upon society, are

particularly welcome.
