The goal of this programme is to expand and upgrade the small equipment base at the University of Leeds to help support engineering and physical science early career researchers (ECRs). Such investment can add new capacity and capability to research teams, particularly helping ECRs establish their own independent research activities. Our vision will be achieved in two ways: first, through provision of small items of dedicated equipment to individual ECRs and their research groups that will complement existing University infrastructure, and; second, by improving and refreshing equipment in shared university facilities that are accessed heavily by ECRs, by supporting purchase of stand-alone components and enhancements that will expand operation of existing apparatus. This programme has been focussed on a selection of research areas of national importance where Leeds has a critical mass of academic staff, funding and infrastructure, which align with the EPSRC shaping capability exercise, and is demonstrably internationally leading for the quality and distinctiveness of its research. This will ensure that the investment made here underpins scientific and engineering excellence, and aligns with long-term research programmes that are both strategic to the university, and receive on-going university investment. This programme will be led by three senior academic staff each with long-standing track records and academic leadership in the organization and delivery of large research programmes to strict timescales, together with the university's Research Facilities and Infrastructure Manager. Oversight by the Pro-Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation will ensure overall alignment with the University's vision for sustainability of its equipment base.

该计划的目标是扩大和升级利兹大学的小型设备基地，以帮助支持工程和物理科学早期职业研究人员（ECR）。此类投资可以为研究团队增加新的能力和能力，特别是帮助 ECR 建立自己的独立研究活动。我们的愿景将通过两种方式实现：首先，通过向各个 ECR 及其研究小组提供小型专用设备，以补充现有的大学基础设施；其次，改进和更新 ECR 频繁使用的共享大学设施中的设备，支持购买独立组件和增强功能，以扩大现有设备的运行。该项目重点关注一系列具有国家重要性的研究领域，利兹大学在这些领域拥有大量的学术人员、资金和基础设施，与 EPSRC 的能力塑造活动相一致，并且其研究的质量和独特性在国际上处于领先地位。 。这将确保这里的投资能够巩固科学和工程的卓越性，并与对大学具有战略意义并获得大学持续投资的长期研究项目相一致。该项目将由三名高级学术人员领导，每名高级学术人员在严格的时间范围内组织和交付大型研究项目方面都有长期的记录和学术领导力，与大学的研究设施和基础设施经理一起领导。研究与创新副校长的监督将确保总体上符合大学设备基础可持续发展的愿景。
