The Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) invites applications for its mid-range equipment grants for biosciences research call. This supports advanced research equipment and development within biosciences research. The total budget is £20 million. Grants are worth between £200,000 and £1.5m for up to one year.

For this call it is encouraged to apply for: •equipment that is widely used and underpins capability across all scientific areas within BBSRC remit; •the use of emerging advanced research technology or utilisation of equipment in new ways of working; •the promotion of collaboration and equipment access between users within industry, public sector and other institutes.

This funding opportunity is only open to early career researchers who meet the eligibility requirements of the EPSRC New Investigator Award scheme and is based at a UK research organisation eligible for EPSRC funding. Whether they are successful or unsuccessful, applicants who apply for an early career researcher international collaboration grant are still eligible to apply for a New Investigator Award. Applicants who hold a New Investigator Award but otherwise still satisfy the other New Investigator Award eligibility criteria are still eligible to apply to this funding opportunity. You and your international partners may have a previous relationship, but we do not expect you to have worked together extensively.
