Capital Award Support for Early Career Researchers at the University of Leeds

利兹大学早期职业研究人员的资本奖支持旨在与EPSRC的世界一流实验室计划保持一致，为早期职业学者提供关键的基础资本设备，特别是在广泛的研究学科中。该奖项将与利兹大学的资本投资战略紧密结合，提供旗舰技术，以利用挑战为主导的跨学科研究，创造新的资助机会并产生影响。提出了四项基本设备，以满足多个学校和院系的需求，使早期职业研究人员以及更广泛的学术界受益。这些项目主要是光谱和显微镜设备，将填补我们目前设施能力在范围和/或分辨率方面的独特空白。大学通过22.5万英镑的捐款来匹配EPSRC奖，使四个项目能够购买，每个项目由EPSRC和大学共同资助。

The Capital Award Support for Early Career Researchers at the University of Leeds aims to align with EPSRC's World Class Labs initiative to provide key underpinning capital equipment of benefit to early career academics in particular across a wide range of research disciplines. The award will closely align with the capital investment strategy of the University of Leeds in providing flagship technologies to capitalise on challenge-led interdisciplinary research, create new funding opportunities and deliver impact.Four items of capital equipment are proposed which fulfil a need across multiple Schools and Faculties, benefiting Early Career Researchers as well as the wider academic community. The items, which are primarily spectroscopy and microscopy equipment, will each fill a unique gap in terms of range and/or resolution in our current facility capabilities.The University is matching the EPSRC Award through a contribution of £225K enabling the four items to be purchased, each co-funded by the EPSRC and the University.
