The Joint Research Equipment Initiative is a competition run by the Research Councils and the Funding Councils for England, Scotland, Wales etc. The aim of JREI is to contribute to the physical research infrastructure and to enable high-quality research to be undertaken, particularly in areas of basic and strategic priority for science and technology, such as those identified by Foresight.

Funding will be based on the principle of best affordable mix; that is, a collection of bids that represents best overall value to the respective funding body while maintaining scientific excellence.

The essential requirements are that bids:

• must be for research equipment;
• must have external sposorship;
• must request a minimum of £12,500 from the JREI.
