Summary on Grant Application Form
The University of Bath proposes to utilise its Unspent Balance funding to undertake 3 strands of activity

1) Bridge funding to retain early career researchers and PDRAs - Talented research staff who have gained valuable experience and skills through EPSRC-funded projects are frequently lost to the University because of the lack of salary funds to bridge the gap between grants. This small fund should enable the retention of a small number of key research staff, to the benefit of the University, the researchers themselves and the UK research pool.

2) Funds for research dissemination activities - Potential uses of this funding will be to support conference attendance to disseminate outputs from EPSRC funded projects, attend collaborative meetings to generate future proposals and public engagement.

3) Follow-on studies to determine commercial viability - The final strand of activity will be to utilize part of the funding to enable follow-on projects with industrial partners to develop the outcomes of EPSRC funded projects.
