Call summary
The Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council invites outline applications for its strategic equipment call. This enhances UK scientific capability and supports a portfolio of high-quality, cutting-edge research of high priority by enabling researchers to purchase strategic equipment. Equipment must have a minimum value of £400,000. Applications may be for a single item or a number of items that are clearly intended to be combined and used as a single asset.
Scientific scope
The request should fit with the host university strategy and enable research that predominantly falls within EPSRC's remit. Strategic equipment could include cutting-edge technology that enables novel research or high-specification equipment that enables research through increased capability and capacity.
PI eligibility
The council encourages a culture of equipment sharing where appropriate in order to maximise usage within the research group, across institutions or across the UK.
