SUPA PIPSS Fellowship Extension - original grant ST/F003633/1

该申请寻求从STFC扩展到为期4年的奖学金，旨在跨苏格兰大学物理联盟SUPA开发KT。总金额为22,215英镑被要求作为奖学金20%的捐献。另外62,101英镑和30,000英镑的捐款将由主办方SUPA和格拉斯哥大学提供给该项目。项目总额为114,336英镑，用于在SUPA机构中部署一名有经验的全职研究员，专注于业务发展，为期两年。该项目的额外目标产出将为：-1。在延期期内，合作研究项目获得了400万英镑的资助。这是建立在xxx在奖学金初始阶段获得的已经产生的资金基础上的。这些项目将为合作伙伴带来新产品、新工艺和新市场机会。4 .衍生公司或项目专注于或致力于创造新的风险。在近年来充满挑战的经济环境下，这一目标更难实现。推动这一水平的新企业形成仍然很重要，因此有意将扩展目标设定在较高水平。协作工作与新企业创建之间的平衡表明，必须追求多种KT路线——在某些情况下，这将通过新的初创企业或分拆公司实现，而在其他情况下，将通过与现有企业合作实现。SUPA PIPSS研究员在发展多机构活动方面发挥主导作用，重点关注大学研究的知识转移（KT），使STFC，参与组织和整个英国经济受益。该研究员还利用SUPA研究的协同效应，广泛的商业联系和现有的支持网络，以显着提高KT成果。迄今为止，这项工作非常成功，在一些领域基本达到并超过了最初的目标。

This application seeks an extension from STFC to the 4-year fellowship awarded to develop KT across and beyond SUPA, the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance. The sum of £22,215 is requested as a 20% contribution to the Fellowship. Additional contributions of £62,101 and £30,000 will be brought to the project by the host parties, SUPA and The University of Glasgow. The total project value of £114,336 covers the deployment of an experienced full time Fellow focused on Business Development across the SUPA Institutions for an additional two years.Additional target outputs from the project will be:-1. £4.0 million funding for Collaborative Research Projects secured through the extension period. This builds on the already generated funding of XXXM secured during the initial phase of the Fellowship. These projects will lead toward new products, processes and market opportunities for the partners involved.2. 4 Spin-out Companies or Projects focused or working toward new venture creation. This target has been more difficult to achieve in the challenging economic climate of recent years. It is still important to push for this level of new venture formation and so the targets for the extension are intentionally set at a high level. The balance between collaborative working and new venture creation recognises that multiple KT routes must be pursued - in some instances this will be through new start up or spin-out companies, while in other circumstances it will be through working with existing businesses. The SUPA PIPSS Fellow plays a leading role in developing multi-institutional activities focusing on Knowledge Transfer (KT) for university research that benefit STFC, the participating organisations and the UK economy as a whole. The Fellow also takes advantage of the synergies in research across SUPA, the breadth of commercial connections and the existing support networks to markedly increase KT outcomes. To date this has been very successful with the initial targets being largely met and exceeded in some areas.
