Cutting-Edge Scientific Initiatives

Comments Highest priority but not currently funded hard. Does this mean should not look like standard exp. Bid? Veronique pointed out that we don t want to create something that sucks money out of the current programme in time. Experiments mean then on the hook for operations. Issue for peer reviewed projects 1 > 50M 3 (medium small) First pass I assume not last chance 16th July 2018 1

Delivering a World Class Research Programme Consultation to identify new world class science and technology proposals for potential future investment. to ensure that STFC is well placed to seize potential future opportunities should funding opportunities arise. to develop an ambitious portfolio of outline business cases for priority projects that relate to our strategic scientific and research infrastructure objectives, covering our complete remit, and driven by our communities. Via the Advisory Panels each science area has been asked over the summer to identify 4 priority projects (1 large scale , 1 or 2 medium scale and 1 or 2 small scale ) that can be started within the next 5 to 6 years. There are no formal financial definitions for the scale; large scale could be above 50m. Science Board will be considering each project identified by the community at an extraordinary meeting in October, to confirm that the science is important in principle (but not to prioritise/rank/sift ).

Specific tasks: Rank projects/experiments and outline scientific priorities within the area. Provide advice on the shape of the programme. Examine funding levels for new ideas and technology development. Consider how to best ensure appropriate support for exploitation and return on investment for STFC-funded projects. Consider consequences of flat cash, 10% funding over the next 5 years. Consider whether each project sits within the appropriate research area for future budgetary tensioning. Input from advisory panels, experiment and project PIs, but make use of relevant up to date material and trying not to overburden community with requests The outcome of the programme evaluations will be published and available to the community. http://www.stfc.ac.uk/about-us/our-purpose-and-priorities/planning-and-strategy/programme-evaluation/balance-of-programme-exercise-ppan/ http://www.stfc.ac.uk/about-us/our-purpose-and-priorities/planning-and-strategy/programme-evaluation/balance-of-programme-exercise-ppan/ More information: http://www.stfc.ac.uk/about-us/our-purpose-and-priorities/planning-and- strategy/programme-evaluation/balance-of-programme-exercise-ppan/
