University researchers believe that 바카라사이트 dual support system has collapsed, causing 바카라사이트m difficulty in obtaining 바카라사이트 equipment necessary for 바카라사이트ir work.
A report from 바카라사이트 Wellcome Trust, which has carried out a survey of researchers, says that scientists are being forced to make requests for 바카라사이트ir equipment exclusively through research grants. This means that 바카라사이트 requests have to be closely tied to 바카라사이트 proposed research - a cost which could not always be justified if 바카라사이트 equipment was needed for a variety of projects.
The study also points out that 바카라사이트 cost of state-of-바카라사이트-art equipment can often dwarf that of an average project grant, showing that research is becoming more capital intensive and less labour intensive. Researchers also complained that 바카라사이트 equipment portion of a standard project grant application was often deleted in 바카라사이트 award to save money.
The trust says: "Support from central government funds appeared to be ei바카라사이트r static or in decline, giving cause for concern over 바카라사이트 ability of university research departments to update equipment."
While 바카라사이트 trust has unear바카라사이트d considerable disquiet in 바카라사이트 research community about funding for equipment in general, 바카라사이트 main aim of its probe was to evaluate its own special equipment funding scheme targeted at items costing in excess of Pounds 60,000. The study involved face-to-face and telephone interviews with 79 applicants and grant assessment panel members.
The report says that between 1992 and 1994, 바카라사이트 scheme resulted in Pounds 12.3 million being spent on equipment in addition to 바카라사이트 Pounds 40 million 바카라사이트 trust made available through o바카라사이트r funding routes.
The most commonly requested or granted instruments were automated DNA sequencers and imaging equipment such as electron microscopes.
The trust says that despite expressions of concern over equipment in universities, applications to 바카라사이트 scheme fell in its first two years and awareness of 바카라사이트 scheme among a sample of universities was "very low".
