2010 Grant Balance - University of St Andrews

大学将使用未动用余额资金支持两个大学新星星星奖学金（RSFs），每个为期6个月，从2011年10月1日至2012年3月31日在大学物理与天文学，化学，数学与统计学，计算机科学，地理与地球科学或心理学学院的EPSRC主题领域举行。RSFs将竞争性地授予现有的博士后研究助理和研究员，目的是让他们利用时间和金钱为独立的研究生涯奠定基础。6个月的项目将为研究员提供在他们申请独立研究资金之前在圣安德鲁斯进行试点项目的机会。RSFs只能在圣安德鲁斯举行，成功的申请人将在他们的奖学金期间成为圣安德鲁斯大学的员工。申请人必须是现有的PDRA或PDRF，并且必须与当前的圣安德鲁斯PI达成一致，他们的独立工作可以在该PI的实验室或研究小组中托管。潜在的RSF提出的试点项目必须满足已确定的需求，新颖，并在EPSRC的主题范围内;理想情况下，该项目应致力于提供基本数据和/或结果，UCDF可以根据这些数据和/或结果提交新的独立赠款申请。我们对大学年轻研究人员的兴趣感到鼓舞。

The University will use the Unspent Balance funding to support two University Rising Star Fellowships (RSFs) each of 6 months duration to be held from 1st October 2011 to 31st March 2012 in an EPSRC thematic area within the University's Schools of Physics & Astronomy, Chemistry, Mathematics & Statistics, Computer Science, Geography & Geoscience or Psychology. The RSFs will be awarded competitively to existing Post-Doctoral Research Assistants & Fellows with the objective that they use the time and money to lay the foundations for an independent research career. The 6 month project will provide the opportunity for the Fellow to undertake a pilot project in St Andrews in advance of their applying for independent research funding in their chosen topic.The RSFs may only be held in St Andrews and successful applicants will be employees of the University of St Andrews for the duration of their Fellowship. Applicants must be existing PDRAs or PDRFs and must have agreed with a current St Andrews PI that their independent work may be hosted in that PI's laboratory or research group.The pilot project proposed by potential RSFs must address an identified need, be novel and covered under the remit of the EPSRC's themes; ideally the project should be directed at providing basic data and/or results from which a new independent grant application could be submitted by the UCDF. We are encouraged by the level of interest among young researchers in the University.
