Notice Description

This research project has two aims, split across 4 high-level Research Questions. While we have outlined a set of indicative sub-questions below these four, we would encourage bidders to suggest additional or alternate sub-questions where appropriate. Further, while we have split the questions across distinct aims and research questions respectively, we would anticipate bidders to address these questions holistically and recognise how and where the questions cut across the different proposed methods for this project.
