Grant Balances 2010 - University of Bath

巴斯大学建议利用其未用余额资金进行三方面的活动：1)过桥基金，以留住早期职业研究人员和PDRAs -由于缺乏工资基金来弥补拨款之间的差距，通过epsrc资助的项目获得宝贵经验和技能的有才华的研究人员经常流失到大学。这笔小额资金应该能够保留少数关键研究人员，使大学、研究人员本身和英国研究人员受益。2)研究传播活动的资金-这笔资金的潜在用途将是支持出席会议，传播EPSRC资助项目的成果，参加合作会议，以产生未来的建议和公众参与。3)确定商业可行性的后续研究——最后一项活动将是利用部分资金与工业伙伴一起开展后续项目，以开发EPSRC资助项目的成果。

The University of Bath proposes to utilise its Unspent Balance funding to undertake 3 strands of activity1) Bridge funding to retain early career researchers and PDRAs - Talented research staff who have gained valuable experience and skills through EPSRC-funded projects are frequently lost to the University because of the lack of salary funds to bridge the gap between grants. This small fund should enable the retention of a small number of key research staff, to the benefit of the University, the researchers themselves and the UK research pool.2) Funds for research dissemination activities - Potential uses of this funding will be to support conference attendance to disseminate outputs from EPSRC funded projects, attend collaborative meetings to generate future proposals and public engagement.3) Follow-on studies to determine commercial viability - The final strand of activity will be to utilize part of the funding to enable follow-on projects with industrial partners to develop the outcomes of EPSRC funded projects.
