Our list of key departmental laboratory equipment, facilities, costs and contacts should be used to assist with the planning and costing of research projects. You should contact the relevant member of staff named in the document, so that they can provide an estimate of the technician time that will also be required to support your proposal. Please also note that the prices in the document do not include VAT and are cost for direct access to the instruments only. As a general rule we do not charge members of the department for technician time. Technical support spent training and supporting departmental users on the equipment does not need to be costed for. The exception is if we have been specifically included on a research project team (with prior agreement) to perform a substantive amount of work as part of that project. We may, however, charge equipment users from outside of our department for technician time (e.g. training or support) if deemed to be justified and depending on the level of support given. In all cases, we would encourage people to discuss their requirements with us if they are thinking of costing instrument use into their grant proposals. We can advise on the amount of instrument time they will require for a given number of samples as well as whether the techniques we have available are applicable to their samples. Use of E&G laboratory facilities should be costed as 'Other Directly Incurred' on Worktribe. |

You need to get permission to use laboratory equipment and facilities in other departments when costing your research application. Email the person that looks after the facility to check that what you want to do is feasible and that the equipment is available for the time that you need. Upload a pdf of their approval to the Documents tab on Worktribe. If you're unsure, Research Support can liaise with contacts in other departments to identify the correct contact. Biology: Contact the Bioscience Technology Facility Heads, Jason Daff for horticulture, and Haley Daniels for the Biological Services Facility (BSF). Chemistry: Contact facility leads, e.g. Ed Bergstrom for CoEMS use. Equipment on the equipment facilities list is costed under 'Directly Allocated: Research Facilities' on Worktribe. Equipment not on this list is costed as 'Other Directly Incurred' |
