All tender information MUST be submitted through the Delta eSourcing Portal. The Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) scheme is AHRC's main mechanism for supporting doctoral students. It is a commitment of PS164 million, over 11 awards, running from October 2014 to September 2022, by which time we will have supported more than 2,500 students. It is important that AHRC reviews and evaluates the effectiveness of the scheme. The supplier will undertake a robust, evidence-based review of the scheme which will enable AHRC to determine its future support for doctoral students.
