This proposal aims to fund small equipment (<£10k) for the benefit of ECRs across the EPSRC research themes of Energy, Healthcare Technologies, Physical Sciences, Engineering, Digital Economy, Manufacturing, Mathematical Sciences. The equipment will directly benefit over 1500 Early Career Researchers (approx. 1000 PhD students, 500 post-doctoral research staff and young lecturers) currently working within these thematic areas at the University of Nottingham and support the University's thematic areas of Energy, Biomedical Imaging, Operations in a Digital World and Drug Discovery. The equipment will also benefit ECRs within the Midlands region thorough our collaborations with the Midlands Energy Consortium, Midlands Physics Alliance and Midlands Ultra Cold Atoms Research Centre and ECRs at other HEIs through our collaborative Doctoral Training Centres. Equipment will be purchased across the Engineering and Physical Sciences to benefit as broad a range of ECRs as possible. New equipment will be purchased to support research into new areas, enable more senior ECRs to start independent research and gain valuable research results to support fellowship and grant applications. This equipment will enable some ECRs to establish their own independent research laboratories and establish their own research collaborations. Equipment will be purchased to upgrade current facilities which are either outdated or no longer fit for purpose. These upgrades will allow the equipment to be modified for ECR's specific research needs at a fraction of the cost of new equipment. Fundamental laboratory equipment will also be bought to increase capacity to enable more resource and time efficient research.

该提案旨在资助小型设备（<1万英镑），以促进能源，医疗保健技术，物理科学，工程，数字经济，制造业，数学科学等EPSRC研究主题的ECR。这些设备将直接惠及1500多名早期职业研究人员（约1000人）。1000名博士生，500名博士后研究人员和年轻的讲师）目前在诺丁汉大学的这些主题领域工作，并支持大学的能源，生物医学成像，数字世界和药物发现的主题领域。通过我们与米德兰兹能源联盟、米德兰兹物理联盟和米德兰兹超冷原子研究中心的合作，这些设备还将使米德兰兹地区的ECR受益，并通过我们合作的博士培训中心使其他高等院校的ECR受益。将在工程和物理科学领域购买设备，以使尽可能广泛的ECR受益。我们会购置新仪器，以支援新范畴的研究，让更多资深的教统会代表可展开独立研究，并取得有价值的研究成果，以支持研究金和拨款申请。这些设备将使一些欧洲理事会代表能够建立自己的独立研究实验室，并建立自己的研究合作。将购买设备，以更新过时或不再适用的现有设施。这些升级将允许设备进行修改，以满足ECR的特定研究需求，而成本仅为新设备的一小部分。还将购买基本的实验室设备，以提高能力，使更多的资源和时间效率的研究。
