The University of Exeter's Research and Impact Strategy focuses on cultivating a world-class environment and continuing to increase the quality and impact of our research. We will achieve this by growing our academic community, and investing in new initiatives to create opportunities for researchers to excel in the global research field. Our investments in our research environment are tailored for our particular staff profile, which has a significiant early career researcher (ECR) cohort, with an overall earlier career population of over thirty percent of our total research community. The investment of an EPSRC ECRs Capital Award at Exeter will align with this strategic approach, establishing a distinctive, unique mechanism for our ECR community to obtain capital equipment funding. The Capital Award at Exeter will specifically support ECRs in the delivery of novel research and the establishment of independent research careers. The University is committed to the implementation of appropriate and co-ordinated governance and monitoring structures for all our funded activity. This proposal has been designed to work in harmony with our existing organisational practices, to provide clarity and efficiency. We will utilise a call-based approach, with published and transparent criteria for assessment, to ensure that we are able to fulfil the aims and objectives of this initiative and to ensure that we are able to support initiatives that demonstrate the highest quality and the capability to develop novel research directions. We value the diversity of our ECRs and are committed to providing a fair, equitable and mutually supportive environment. We have a dedicated Equality and Diversity team that ensures a University-wide integrated approach to equality and diversity, and a member of that team will be involved in the decision-making process for the scheme. We will monitor equality and diversity throughout our application process for EPSRC Capital Equipment Funds.The process will be overseen by the University of Exeter EPSRC Strategy Group, which includes members of the engineering and physical sciences research community from across the institution. They will be fully supported by Research Services.Through our management of an award, Exeter will support approximately five EPSRC Capital Equipment Awards of £30-35k for high-quality, novel ECR-led research equipment. To support and encourage interdisciplinary working, we envisage that combined awards, up to £60K, may also be funded where teams of ECRs come together to apply.In awarding EPSRC ECR Capital Awards at Exeter, (see below planned process) we will select only high-quality research, or those applicants demonstrating the ambitious potential for research in a new area, within the remit of the EPSRC. All users will be expected to show how the equipment purchased will be used for research within the scope of the EPSRC either from existing EPSRC funded projects or to work towards applications to the EPSRC for funding.

埃克塞特大学的研究和影响战略专注于培育世界级的环境，并继续提高我们研究的质量和影响。我们将通过发展我们的学术社区，并投资于新的倡议，为研究人员创造在全球研究领域出类拔萃的机会，从而实现这一目标。我们对研究环境的投资是为我们特定的员工群体量身定做的，其中有一个重要的早期职业研究人员(ECR)队列，其早期职业人口占我们整个研究社区的30%以上。EPSRC ECRS资本奖在埃克塞特的投资将与这一战略方法保持一致，为我们的ECR社区建立一个独特的机制，以获得资本设备资金。埃克塞特的资本奖将专门支持ECR提供创新研究和建立独立的研究事业。大学致力于为我们资助的所有活动实施适当和协调的治理和监测结构。这项建议旨在与我们现有的组织实践相协调，以提供清晰度和效率。我们将采用以呼叫为基础的方法，并采用公开和透明的评估标准，以确保我们能够实现这一倡议的目的和目标，并确保我们能够支持显示出最高质量和能力的倡议，以开发新的研究方向。我们重视我们ECR的多样性，并致力于提供一个公平、公平和相互支持的环境。我们有一个专门的平等和多样性小组，确保在整个大学范围内对平等和多样性采取综合办法，该小组的一名成员将参与该计划的决策过程。我们将在申请EPSRC资本设备基金的整个过程中监督平等和多样性。整个过程将由埃克塞特大学EPSRC战略小组监督，该小组包括来自整个机构的工程和物理科学研究社区的成员。通过我们对奖项的管理，埃克塞特将支持大约5个GB 30-35k的EPSRC Capital Equipment Awards，以表彰高质量、由ECR领导的新型研究设备。为了支持和鼓励跨学科工作，我们设想，在ECR团队聚集在一起申请的地方，也可以资助最高可达GB 60K的综合奖项。在埃克塞特颁发EPSRC ECR资本奖时，我们将只挑选高质量的研究，或那些在EPSRC职权范围内展示新领域研究雄心勃勃的研究潜力的申请者。所有用户将展示购买的设备将如何用于EPSRC范围内的研究，无论是从EPSRC现有的资助项目中获得，还是向EPSRC申请资助。
