EPSRC Capital Award emphasising support for Early Career Researchers

格拉斯哥大学将在汇集的设备资源中投资小型设备，以进一步为我们69名早期职业研究人员（ecr）的蓬勃发展社区提供良好的研究环境。这项投资将推动新的研究思路，鼓励新的合作并支持研究培训。大学在培训和支持早期职业研究人员方面投入了大量资金，整体拨款将补充我们现有的ECR财政支持机制。以前的ecr从购买设备的资助中受益，这帮助他们建立新的合作，进行新的研究，赢得额外的研究资助和发展他们的研究小组。我们将在这一成功经验的基础上，战略性地投资于设备，以提高我们早期职业研究人员的职业生涯，鼓励不同学科之间的合作，从而使我们更广泛的学术界受益。该计划将由一个经验丰富的团队管理，代表ESPRC职权范围内的所有研究，主要是来自科学与工程学院以及医学、兽医和生命科学学院的适当部门的学者。我们建议运行两个设备调用周期，第一个周期从2018年10月开始，第二个周期在2019年4月开始。格拉斯哥大学将提供10万英镑的额外资金支持该申请。

The University of Glasgow will invest in small items of equipment within a pooled equipment resource to further enhance the excellent research environment for our thriving community of 69 Early Career Researchers (ECRs). This investment will drive new research ideas, encourage new collaborations and support research training. The University invests substantially in training and support for Early Career Researchers and the block grant will complement our existing ECR financial support mechanisms. Previous ECRs have benefitted from funding, for the purchase of equipment, which helped them to establish new collaborations, undertake new research, win additional research funding and grow their research groups. We will build on this successful experience and invest strategically in equipment to enhance the careers of our Early career researchers, encourage collaboration between different academic disciplines and in turn benefit our wider academic community.The scheme will be run by an experienced team representing all research within ESPRC remit primarily academics from the College of Science and Engineering and appropriate sectors of the College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences. We propose to run two cycles of the equipment call, with the first starting in October 2018 the second in April 2019. The University of Glasgow will commit £100k of additional funding in support of the application.
