Loughborough University has a substantial and sustained commitment to maintaining leading experimental facilities in support of the world-class research activities that saw us ranked in the top 10 in England for research intensity in REF2014. In this submission, we seek state of the art equipment for Early Career Researchers which will also add significant value underpin and make a step-change to our key engineering and physical sciences (EPS) research capabilities.Our well-equipped and well-supported existing laboratory provision is integral to our research strategy and a distinctive aspect of our ethos that features particularly prominently across our EPSRC portfolio. This includes the projects of our 700 EPS PhD students and the collaborations fostered through our participation in nine Centres of Doctoral Training in addition to our substantial EPSRC Doctoral Training partnership grant, which is strategically allocated to support ECRs. We work with a diverse range of industry partners, on areas from stem cell therapies with to savings of 20,000kg of fuel per year on aircraft. The funds used from this investment will not replace any planned investments at the institutional level.This award will be used to facilitate high quality research by funding Early Career Researchers that can demonstrate they are seeking to establish broader, multi-disciplinary collaborations with industrial and academic partners, that will benefit from usage of the equipment. These collaborations will ensure that research is novel and timely and leads to: - Enhanced impact - Higher quality publications - Ability to attract high calibre PhD students and improved research experience - Increased volume of successful grant applications to a broad range of funders

拉夫堡大学对维护领先的实验设施有一个实质性持续的承诺，以支持世界一流的研究活动，这使我们在Ref2014的研究强度中排名英格兰的前十名。在此提交中，我们为早期职业研究人员寻求最先进的设备，这还将增加重要的价值支持，并使我们的关键工程学和物理科学（EPS）研究能力进行逐步改变。我们设备齐全且支持良好的现有实验室规定是我们的研究策略不可或缺的，这是我们的Ethos的独特方面，并且在我们的Epsrc Portforlio中尤其是尤其是我们的Ethos的独特方面。这包括我们700名EPS博士学生的项目以及通过参加9个博士培训中心的合作，除了我们的大量EPSRC博士培训合作伙伴赠款，该合作伙伴赠款在战略上分配给ECRS。我们与各种各样的行业合作伙伴合作，从干细胞疗法到每年在飞机上节省20,000公斤的燃料。这项投资中使用的资金将无法取代机构一级的任何计划投资。该奖项将通过资助早期职业研究人员资助来促进高质量的研究，这些研究人员可以证明他们正在寻求与工业和学术合作伙伴建立更广泛的，多学科的合作，这将使设备的使用受益。这些合作将确保研究是新颖和及时的，并导致： - 增强的影响 - 更高质量的出版物 - 吸引高素质博士学位学生和改进的研究经验的能力 - 增加了对广泛资助者的成功赠款申请的数量增加
