<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="color:black">Statement of Need for national facility –
</span></b><span style="color:black">EPSRC have a call out for statements of need for proposed (or renewal of existing) national facilities to support research in their remit areas. It would be worth thinking strategically within your department (or across
the institution more widely) if this is something you want to respond to. No funding attached to it rather they are looking to the community to assess need, if one is deemed worthy, a future call may be opened up, closes 31<sup>st</sup> of October
