The award must be spent to support research activity. Examples of proposed use:

• Procurement of new or replacement equipment.
• Funding cost share on calls e.g. SFI infrastructure call.
• Building research collaborations and or networks with a view to specific funding calls e.g. Horizon 2020. This could include incoming / outgoing visiting professorships, hosting of a conference, appointment of a new research position to develop existing research.
• Covering unfunded costs on existing PhD students e.g. excess on non-EU student fees, or unfunded final year fees and stipend for PhD students.
• Career development activities e.g. costs associated with approved sabbaticals or membership fees of an international organisation.
• Provision of strategic and administrative research support or a post award research administrator shared between a number of PI’s.
• Provision of research proposal support personnel e.g. grant writers.
• Publishing costs e.g. publishing fees for Gold Open Access.
• Presenting at a conference.

Where existing external funding is available for research support, consumables, conference attendance and travel, these should be used first. Read more for the Output-Based Research Support Scheme (OBRSS) at the UCD Research Portal.

In case you would like to use your OBRSS funds, eProcurement is the online requisitioning system through which UCD staff can requisition goods and services from third party suppliers.
