The EPSRC has recently announced changes to their Peer Review and Fellowship application processes to align with the Shaping Capability strand of the EPSRC delivery plan.These changes will necessitate a far greater understanding, and justification, of how potential research and fellowship applications fit strategically with the research portfolio which the EPSRC is looking to create in the future. In that regard, EPSRC have identified research areas where future investment will grow, remain the same, or reduce. Likewise, Fellowship applications will not be open in all areas at all times, but will be focussed on areas where growth is required and where developing leaders can integrate their work into the wider EPSRC research landscape.It is therefore the intention of this project to fund several pilot projects to strengthen and/or determine the feasibility of future EPSRC research or fellowship applications within this new context.Projects funded through this call might include:- Initial or additional exploratory experiments- Development of new research tools or methods- Establishment new interdisciplinary research collaborations- Establishment or development of international research collaborations
