Capital Award for Core Equipment at UCL

这是一项对设备进行投资的建议，将使伦敦大学学院8个系的至少46个中心和院系的研究人员受益。它将支持伦敦大学学院的战略目标，即实现优秀跨学科研究的影响，并为其研究人员提供尖端设备，使他们能够与世界上最优秀的研究人员竞争。在副教务长办公室(研究)的监督下，通过竞争性的内部遴选程序选出了UCL设备项目，并根据科学成就、潜在的影响以及与UCL和EPSRC战略的一致性进行评估。伦敦大学学院副教务长(研究)David Price教授是此次竞标的PI，他的办公室将监督授标和利益的监督。每个设备项目的首席调查员将负责定期向其办公室报告针对目标的进展情况。所需的UCL设备项目包括：(A)核磁共振设备；(B)带有热成像相机附件的3D激光扫描仪；(C)超声研究平台；(D)一对功能性近红外光谱(FNIRS)可穿戴式头戴式扫描设备；以及(E)3D显微镜。

This is a proposal for investment in equipment to benefit researchers in at least 46 UCL centres and departments across eight faculties. It will support UCL's strategic goals of realising the impact of excellent cross-disciplinary research and providing its researchers with cutting-edge equipment to enable them to compete with the world's best. All requested items of equipment fulfil the underpinning multi-user equipment objective of the call.The UCL equipment items were chosen via a competitive internal selection process, overseen by the Office of the Vice-Provost (Research), with evaluation based on scientific excellence, potential for impact, and alignment to UCL and EPSRC strategies. UCL's Vice-Provost (Research), Prof David Price, is the PI on this bid, and his Office will oversee the award and the monitoring of the benefits. The Lead Investigators for each equipment item will be responsible for regular reporting to his Office on progress against objectives.The requested UCL equipment items are: (A) NMR equipment; (B) a 3D laser scanner with a thermal imaging camera attachment; (C) an ultrasound research platform; (D) a pair of functional Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy (fNIRS) wearable, head-mounted scanning devices; and (E) a 3D microscope.
