University of Reading EPSRC ECR Equipment Bid

该提案描述了阅读大学的10万英镑EPSRC资本奖分配计划，强调对早期职业研究人员（ECR）的支持。这笔拨款将用于建立一个内部基金，合格的申请人将能够竞标小型设备（1万至5万英镑），以支持他们的尖端研究。该基金将针对ECR，补充大学对小型资本设备的现有支持（这不是ECR的重点）。将向提出植根于EPSRC职权范围的优秀研究的EC颁发奖项，使他们能够超越当前的研究（范围或合作）。我们将确保对于所取得的资本设备奖，大学能够根据世界级实验室生态系统的理念提供持续的后勤和技术支持。

This proposal describes the University of Reading's plan for the allocation of the £100k EPSRC Capital Award emphasising support for Early Career Researchers (ECRs). The allocation will be used to put in place an internal fund into which eligible applicants will be able to bid for small items of equipment (£10,000- £50,000) to support their cutting-edge research. This fund will be targeted at ECRs, complementing the University's existing support for minor capital equipment (which is not ECR-focused). Awards will be made to ECRs proposing excellent research rooted in EPSRC remit, enabling them to stretch beyond their current research (in scope or in collaboration). We will ensure that for the capital equipment awards that are made, the University is in a position to provide ongoing logistical and technical support in line with the philosophy of the World Class Labs ecosystem.
