The University of Birmingham's strategic vision, Birmingham 2026, is to grow research activity and to achieve this through investment in brilliant people, outstanding facilities and strong collaborative networks. Our goal now is to do more and better research, tackling the great challenges of our day, breaking new ground and making important things happen.The University of Birmingham has put in place a robust and transparent process for the allocation of the EPSRC Capital Award for Core Equipment. We propose to invest in 8 different items spanning the breadth of research themes aligned to EPSRC remit across the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS) at Birmingham. We will invest in upgrades to existing equipment (PCB Plotter, Nanoscribe, cryo equipment for trapping highly charged ions), procurement of items new to Birmingham (Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar, Vicon motion capture system, LumenX grayscale bioprinter, isothermal titration calorimeter) and a state of the art magnetic particle tacking system unique to the UK research community. As well as investing in our research capabilities we seek to prioritise benefit to early career researchers, helping to promote a culture of collaboration, internally and externally.Prof Constantinos Constantinou (Director of Research, EPS), having responsibility for the equipment strategy, is the project's Principal Investigator. Each item of equipment has a Co-Investigator who has responsibility for that specific item, from procurement through to utilisation including training. Technical support is specific to each item and delivered locally. The success of the equipment will be monitored through usage and other metrics such as initiation of new collaborations, grant applications, journal papers, conference presentations, industry user engagement and teaching related activities (PhD, MSc or UG projects). Again, the Co-Is will lead on their respective equipment.

伯明翰大学的战略愿景，伯明翰，2026年，是为了发展研究活动，并通过投资出色的人，出色的设施和强大的协作网络来实现这一目标。我们现在的目标是进行更多更好的研究，应对当天的巨大挑战，打破新的立场并实现重要的事情。我们建议投资8个不同的项目，这些项目涵盖了与EPSRC在伯明翰工程和物理科学学院（EPS）中保持一致的研究主题的广度。我们将投资于现有设备的升级（PCB绘图仪，Nanoscribe，用于吸引高电荷离子的冷冻设备），采购伯明翰的新物品（Split Hopkinson Pressise Bar，Vicon Motion Caption System，Lumenx Grayscale Biopinter，Lumenx Grayscale Biopinter，Ishothermothermal滴定量热量表）和Art Art磁性固定粒子粘贴量的UK Resection Semplect of UK IK Resection semport。除了投资于我们的研究能力外，我们试图优先考虑早期职业研究人员的利益，帮助促进内部和外部的协作文化。康斯坦丁斯·康斯坦丁努（Constantinos Constantinou）（EPS研究总监）（EPS）负责设备策略，是该项目的主要研究人员。每项设备都有一个共同投资者，他对该特定项目负责，从采购到培训，包括培训。技术支持是针对每个项目并在本地交付的。设备的成功将通过使用和其他指标来监控，例如启动新的合作，赠款应用程序，期刊论文，会议演示文稿，行业用户参与度和与教学相关活动（博士学位，MSC或UG项目）。同样，Co-IS将领导各自的设备。
