  41. FUTURE FUNDING OF LC-ABD Current PPARC support ends in March 2007 Future proposed programme will need to be peer reviewed by the end of 2006 to ensure continuity. The proposal for the next phase will need to take into account overall international status, UK role/responsibilities and timescales for TDR etc. Funding for accelerator R&D awarded in SR2002 has been built into the PPARC baseline. Linear collider R&D is given high priority by PPARC. There are long term commitments to the two accelerator R&D centres.

  42. LARGE CAPITAL FACILITIES FUND Linear collider is a bid from PPARC to the OST Large Capital Facilities Fund – separate funding line retained by OST for capital construction projects. Prioritisation exercise currently underway of bids from all Research Councils – outcome not yet known but if given high priority, any funding could be for the construction phase only. Discussions with OST continue. PPARC will have to balance the need to maintain momentum, with the funds available and other calls on the PPARC budget.
