Call summary
This supports the purchase of advanced research equipment and capability development within biosciences research.
Advanced research equipment and the development of capability in this area is a key component in maintaining the competitiveness of the UK research base. We recognise that new technologies, tools, and approaches, often spanning several disciplines, are revolutionising biology. They are providing unprecedented opportunities to:
advance understanding of the complex, dynamic processes that govern life
apply that knowledge for the benefit of society and the economy
To support this approach, this funding opportunity encourages you to apply for:
equipment that is widely used and underpins capability across all scientific areas within our remit (relevance to the priority areas in BBSRC’s strategic delivery plan is particularly encouraged)
the use of emerging advanced research technology or utilisation of equipment in new ways, specifically ‘lab-to-field’ equipment which enables the translation (or applied use) of laboratory scale experiments to real-world settings or environments
equipment that promotes collaboration and increased access to users within industry, public sector, and other institutes, for example equipment-sharing and access to equipment.
