EPSRC Strategic Infrastructure

The EPSRC Strategic Infrastructure funding opportunity provides capital and resource funding to purchase and set up strategic infrastructure (equipment, resources or both) to improve UK scientific capability and enable cutting-edge research aligned with EPSRC priorities. It offers two routes: route one for purchase and set-up of strategic infrastructure and route two for resources to support existing strategic infrastructure (invited applicants only). Applications must be submitted by eligible UK research organisations and are assessed against strategic importance to the host institution and EPSRC priorities.

Awarded funding to purchase and set up strategic infrastructure or to provide resources supporting existing strategic infrastructure.

Host UK research organisations eligible for EPSRC funding may apply. Route two (resources to support existing infrastructure) is for invited applicants only and requires approval from the relevant EPSRC theme lead. UKRI individual eligibility rules apply and institutions are limited to three applications per batching period.
