Overview
Delivering Doctoral Training in the Social Sciences
The Northern Ireland and North East Doctoral Training Partnership (“NINE DTP”) is a new and exciting collaborative enterprise between seven Universities across Northern Ireland and the North East of England. Funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, with support from the Department for the Economy Northern Ireland (DfENI), we provide outstanding students with fantastic opportunities to conduct their Doctoral studies and develop core research skills in an exciting and creative environment.
Each year, we award in excess of 50 studentships to exceptional social scientists across our seven partner Universities, providing funding to support Doctoral studies on three year (PhD), three-and-a-half year (PhD with Research Methods) or four year (Masters and PhD) programmes. We are committed to working with our award-holders, partners and collaborators to deliver an innovative and engaging experience, allowing our students to deliver real-world impact whilst developing into the next generation of social scientists.

How to Apply
All candidates for ESRC funding should apply directly to the University of their choosing, in accordance with the rules and regulations of that institution.
Candidates should familiarise themselves with institutional practice, guidelines and deadlines to ensure that their application to the University is registered in a timely and effective manner. Please note that eligibility for ESRC funding does not guarantee that a candidate is eligible for a place in University; you should ensure you meet all requirements to take up a position within the institution in advance of submitting your application. We strongly advise that candidates identify and make contact with an academic at the earliest opportunity who is able to supervise the proposed research. Prospective supervisors are able to advise on eligibility, writing the research proposal and applying for funding.
To apply for an NINE ESRC studentship, you will need to submit the following documents, some of which are beyond the usual institutional requirements for applicants:

If a proposal exceeds this maximum length of 2,000 words it will not be considered. - A Current CV

NINE DTP requires your consent for us to process your data. A signed copy of the form should be submitted either with your university application, or directly to your supervisor. - Equal Opportunities Monitoring Form NINE DTP asks that all students considering applying for NINE DTP funding should complete an equal opportunities monitoring form (downloadable via this webpage), and submit it separately to their intended department in advance of the deadline for applications.
