A research technical professional can apply as a project lead or project co-lead, provided that:
- your appointment is resourced from the central funds of their institution at the time of application
- your level of responsibilities and duties is appropriate to a person with substantial research experience
- your contract extends beyond the duration of the project
EPSRC expects institutions to take a strong strategic approach to prioritise the applications that are of the highest strategic importance to the institutions. The applications made should not be considered as ‘nice to have’ infrastructure, but rather a strategic necessity for the host institution’s long-term strategy.
EPSRC expects no more than six applications from each institution in the period between 18 June 2024 and 18 June 2025. Additional applications from the same institution will automatically be rejected. This institution limit applies to both the invited re-submissions and the resources to support existing strategic infrastructure route.
The institutional limit should not be seen as a target by institutions. EPSRC usually receive less than six applications from most institutions at each financial year. Applications should only be submitted when they have fully addressed the assessment criteria and reflected as an institutional priority.
