Letters of Support
Preparing a research proposal or funding application?
If your project involves materials, equipment or technical expertise that PI-KEM can support, we may be able to provide a Letter of Support to strengthen your application.
A Letter of Support can demonstrate that you have engaged with a specialist scientific supplier and considered how the materials, equipment and practical support required for your research will be sourced.
How we can support your project
Depending on your research and its requirements, our Letter of Support may confirm our willingness to:
· Support the sourcing of specialist or advanced materials
· Explore custom specifications for your research
· Provide technical product guidance
· Help identify suitable equipment or processing routes
· Introduce relevant processing partners or manufacturers where appropriate
· Support the practical requirements of your project if funding is awarded
The support we can offer will depend on your project, its requirements and where our expertise can make a meaningful contribution.
