National Centre for eSocial Science (NCeSS) http://www.ncess.ac.uk/
The National Centre for eSocial Science (NCeSS) aims to promote and facilitate eScience within social science research. We aim to stimulate the uptake and use by social scientists of new and emerging Grid-enabled computing and data infrastructure, both in quantitative and qualitative research. The centre is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council and was formally established in April 2004. NCeSS will consist of a co-ordinating Hub and a set of research-based Nodes distributed across the UK. The Hub will be based at the University of Manchester, with support from the UK Data Archive at the University of Essex. The role of the Hub is to act as the central resource base for e-social science issues and activities in the UK, integrating them with ESRC research methods initiatives and the existing e-science core programme. The Hub will provide a one-stop shop for awareness raising, expertise, training, technical infrastructure, data resources, computer facilities and user-support for e-social science research. This has been added to Grid Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog and Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
