[Academic] EPSRC equipment call

[Robert Martin]

Dear All,

(nb. Please discuss proposals with Research Director/HoD before sending 
in to vice-Dean)

EPSRC is making available up to £50m to refresh and update experimental 
equipment - see attached call. The bid needs to made up of "bundles" 
(greater than £500k and with all items above 10k). I am seeking 
proposals for equipment bundles from science, or combined 
science-engineering. Please *aim at £600k* as a £2.4M University bid 
composed of 4 bundles seems a good initial target - although larger or 
smaller bids are not excluded.

It is important that the equipment is aligned with EPSRC research and it 
will help if it aligns to areas where we have strong EPSRC funding. 
Equipment sharing is very important to EPSRCs and it should be clear how 
the bundle provides a resource to a wide set if users in the University 
and region.

Note the following from the call:
Bundles can consist of:
. Equipment meeting particular departmental or discipline requirements
. Equipment for multi-disciplinary research areas (for instance 
straddling several departments or for research centres)
. Equipment that will be used across a regional grouping of universities

Please write max 1 page listing/describing the equipment and max 1 page 
justification (inc. research quality, strategic fit, impact). *
The deadline for the 2-page proposals (emailed to me) is 5pm on Weds 5th 
November.*

Regards,

Rob
