Researcher bridging funds and pools

Some faculties now have bridging funds and researcher pools to improve job security for researchers.  For example, Engineering now has bridging funds available which any PI can apply for to secure researchers between projects.  SUCU continues to campaign for more of these positive steps towards decasualisaton.  We’d like to know more details of what is available in every faculty — you can help by emailing ucu@sheffield.ac.uk with a quick report of what’s available in your own faculty and experiences you have had with them.
