EPSRC Strategic Equipment Outline call - Internal deadline of Thursday 24th June 2021, 5pm

Dear Colleagues,

Following my previous email, I am now sending a reminder of the next call deadline for EPSRC Strategic Equipment Applications. I would like to invite you, as Strategic Theme Co-ordinators, to highlight this call to your theme members for the potential submission of an outline business case for EPSRC's Strategic Equipment Scheme.

Full details of the scheme and guidance for applicants can be found here<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fepsrc.ukri.org%2Fresearch%2Ffacilities%2Fequipment%2Fprocess%2Fstrategicequipmentprocess%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccath.cheshire%40strath.ac.uk%7Cdcb3807135f9488804d408d8f43b8d9e%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C637527883904761649%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=EQjFZ56Lni4TqETChI1mJWmY2NDg10jggGYcuTKBbcg%3D&reserved=0>.

Due to the scheme's strategic nature and the anticipated University commitment, an internal assessment process has been established to review and determine potential progression of outline business cases to EPSRC, as outlined below.

Date
Activity
Thursday 24th June 2021, 5pm
Submission of business case to internal panel (to research-equipment at strath.ac.uk<mailto:research-equipment at strath.ac.uk>)
Provisionally 5th July 2021
Internal panel meeting held (Panel: Prof Stephen McArthur, Prof Bernie Conway (VDR Eng), Prof Yvonne Perrie (VDR Sci)). EPSRC assessment criteria will be used, with decisions and feedback provided to applicants shortly thereafter.
Provisionally 19th July 2021
Re submission of revised business case to internal panel with potential second panel review (by invitation).
Tuesday 7th September 2021, 4pm
Submission to EPSRC (if agreed by internal panel).

Please note that no further EPSRC deadline for 2021 has been announced at this stage, although there was previously a call with an EPSRC submission deadline in December. I will provide further information on this as it becomes available.

The business case consists of two pages (font 11, 2cm margins), addressing the headings under 'Outline Business Case' and 'Outline Assessment process and criteria' as detailed here<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fepsrc.ukri.org%2Fresearch%2Ffacilities%2Fequipment%2Fprocess%2Fstrategicequipmentprocess%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccath.cheshire%40strath.ac.uk%7Cdcb3807135f9488804d408d8f43b8d9e%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C637527883904761649%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=EQjFZ56Lni4TqETChI1mJWmY2NDg10jggGYcuTKBbcg%3D&reserved=0>. Specific attention should be focussed at this stage on addressing the primary criteria in developing the strategic case by underpinning EPSRC research portfolio<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fepsrc.ukri.org%2Fresearch%2Fourportfolio%2Fresearchareas%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccath.cheshire%40strath.ac.uk%7Cdcb3807135f9488804d408d8f43b8d9e%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C637527883904771638%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=PsYsu3NkJ2SWMv0sfMulN8ntwnPuZFg7lTfDA7vuvS8%3D&reserved=0>(s), balancing capability strategies<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fepsrc.ukri.org%2Fresearch%2Fourportfolio%2Fsetting-monitoring-portfolio-strategies%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccath.cheshire%40strath.ac.uk%7Cdcb3807135f9488804d408d8f43b8d9e%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C637527883904781637%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=6eCqtgJIWjSgEoqRE%2FCznllTKAmj3NGMMCAnMGo0EWc%3D&reserved=0>, grand challenges or outcomes<https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fepsrc.ukri.org%2Fabout%2Fplans%2Fdeliveryplan%2Fprosperityoutcomes%2F&data=04%7C01%7Ccath.cheshire%40strath.ac.uk%7Cdcb3807135f9488804d408d8f43b8d9e%7C631e0763153347eba5cd0457bee5944e%7C0%7C0%7C637527883904781637%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=Bawet%2BRcuQDWZfffvnABDfZheYx7HJDBJuU23netA4g%3D&reserved=0> and by outlining how this investment will contribute to these priorities. The business case may encompass institutional wide collaborative applications addressing the above.

Each application should be accompanied by an e-mail of support from the applicant's Head of Department, outlining any departmental financial support. It is also expected that applicants will have engaged in a preliminary discussion with the appropriate Vice Dean for Research, in the early stages of planning the business case.

RKES support is available for outline business case development and project management support if developing a full bid for final review, after initial approval by EPSRC. In the first instance, please inform me of your intention to apply, for an initial discussion.

Kind regards,

Jonathan
