X5 Costing for Access to Henry Royce Institute Facilities

When costing grant applications to access shared equipment through the Henry Royce Institute, the EPSRC have advised that Royce equipment access costs must be entered into X5 as "Non-staff – Other Directly Incurred - OTHER COSTS – Consumables (Description of Equipment)" and not in the “Facilities” tab.

This is because the Henry Royce Institute is not formally a UK National Laboratory / Facility, therefore access charges are calculated by the University Departments where the equipment is located. Further information can be found on the EPSRC website under subheading "other costs".
