             I
            am pleased to be able to announce the BCO’s Spring 2024 Call for
            Research. We are inviting BCO members to submit proposals to
            undertake research projects of relevance to the overall objectives
            of the BCO. The general scope of the BCO’s current research
            interests can be found in our Pillar Research paper.  
             
            The following summary diagram illustrates our four thematic areas
            of interest, the implications that we are seeking to draw out and,
            finally how the recommendations can be socially relevant. 
 
   
             
            Guidance on how to
            prepare a submission can be found here. 
             
            We are looking to commission high quality, evidence-based work
            which produces informative conclusions and practical
            recommendations. We welcome proposals from single forms or
            consortia of blended skills. Proposals will be considered by the
            BCO Research Committee and judged on a case-by-case basis. 
             
            If you would like to discuss an idea before preparing a formal
            proposal, then please do not hesitate to contact myself.
