Sector Recruitment Analysis - AWARD - This project will deliver an investigation of sector recruitment between 2022 and 2024 to analyse number and types of heritage roles recruited for; and classify and calculate the range of knowledge, skills and experience required for these jobs. This will provide a more comprehensive picture of the job market and the demand for particular skills across key areas of the historic environment sector; which in turn will help the sector prioritise current and future skills needs. The project will focus on the occupational areas of archaeology, conservation and heritage management/advice; in order to compliment the skills needs analysis for heritage construction which has recently been commissioned by Historic England. The aim of this project is to provide an evidence base on the demand for job roles, skills and experience from employers in the historic environment sector over the past year. This will provide baseline evidence in order to undertake a robust skills gap analysis, and prioritise which skills areas need to be further developed across the sector.

Cereals and Oilseeds Farm and Trade Assurance processes - an independent study into how assurance works and why supply chains require it. - There is a clear lack of accessible facts and insight for grower levy payers into what is required beyond the farmgate and of imported grain. The current situation presents a material risk to farm level support for farm assurance. As such, AHDB have been asked by industry partners to commission an independent exercise into gathering evidence on exactly how assurance processes work for domestic and imported grain and why they are needed through the supply chain. The work will have an evidence-based foundation, with a fully independent and impartial conclusion that will be respected by the industry. The purpose of this work is to ensure that as an industry we have independent evidence of how domestic and imported assurance processes are applied and why they are needed by primary processors. The outcome we are aiming for is to create a clear evidence base for industry collaboration on the matter of how assurance standards are applied.

Department for Transport: National Transport Model v5 2024 Rebase - The National Transport Model version 5 (NTMv5) is a large transport model, developed using classic transport modelling principles but with a number of adaptations to enable it to be sufficiently informative with shorter run times. Some parts of the model use a "masking" system with a representative subset of zone-to-zone movements, to reduce computation times. The Department for Transport is considering a `rebase' of the system. There are three important elements to this work. First, and most important, the requirement is to update the highway assignment component of NTMv5 to reflect the situation post-covid19. This is needed for strategic forecasting purposes. In practice, this means using data from 2022 and 2023, a shorter period than the original data used to estimate NTMv5. The challenge with this work will be to exercise judgement about where compromises are needed to meet the tight timescales for this project, whilst still providing sufficient quality for strategic forecasting. This work may also provide some opportunity (albeit within limited timescales) for an innovative approach to meet this challenge. Secondly, we intend to switch from using National Highways traffic counts to the Department's data (potentially including traffic by region and road type as well as counts) for this update. This is because for strategic forecasting purposes, the Department requires the modelled traffic to match its own understanding of traffic in the model base year. Finally, the Department would like to have the capability to carry out similar updates in-house in future. Therefore, we would anticipate allowing some time after the model updates are complete for documentation, handover, and potentially training to the Department in the methods used for this update.

Term Framework for the Provision of Chemistry Synthesis and other Chemistry Services Outsourcing Framework - Second-Generation Framework for the provision of Chemistry Synthesis and other Chemistry Services Outsourcing with initial term of two (2) years with the option to extend for up to 2 x 12 months, if required, at the sole discretion of the University and subject to ongoing satisfactory performance by the appointed Service Providers. The Services will include: 1. FTE rate for provision of chemistry support for medicinal chemistry programme(s), typically making 50mg samples of compounds for initial biological evaluation. For actives, re-synthesis on a larger scale may be required (typically 0.5g to 5g scale). The ability to carry out array chemistry is important; 2.Bespoke piece(s) of chemistry e.g. synthesis of a defined list of compounds, typically at <50mg scale; 3. Scale up of chemistry, up to 200g; 4.Chiral separation by crystallization or SFC/Chiral HPLC on (up to) gram scale. 5.Synthesis of intermediates at 5-100g; For all of these, a purity level will be defined. This will depend on the phase of the project, but typically is >95% purity and for scale up> 98% purity with no impurity >0.5%; 6. Experimental write-ups, when requested, including compound characterization by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and LCMS or UPLC/MS for publications, in-vivo release, tech-transfer to DDU or other CRO for patent purposes.

Opportunity Seed Funding Call: Nature Computes Better - Breakthroughs require finding people who think differently about what's possible - and empowering them to follow their vision. To support scientific and technological breakthroughs, outside of programmes, ARIA Programme Directors can award opportunity seeds to support ambitious research aligned to the opportunity spaces they've identified. To understand how opportunity seeds work within our model, see how we're working here (https://www.aria.org.uk/how-were-working/).
