In March 2010, a total of seventy eight applications were made to the National HE STEM Programme’s Collaborative Practice Transfer Fund, which was issued to enable colleagues in HEFCE and HEFCW funded Higher Education Institutions to adopt tried and tested approaches, resources or ideas.
Approximately £180,000 has subsequently been committed to collaborative projects in support of the transfer and embedding of existing, evidence based proven practice between colleagues in a total of twenty seven HEIs, four professional bodies, two private sector companies, two Higher Education Academy subject centres, one sector skills council, one science learning centre, one independent charity, and one sixth form college.
Out of a total of 19 successful proposals, 6 have involvement by East Midlands HEIs: Nottingham Trent University, University of Nottingham, University of Leicester and Loughborough University
