The end of year crush and some much needed holiday intervened. I believe there were 8 sites that submitted Euro-BioImaging Expression of Interest Proposals. I can’t speak for BBSRC, but as far as I know, the BBSRC imaging survey is part of comprehensive review of imaging BBSRC is currently conducting. See, for example, http://www.bbsrc.ac.uk/news/policy/2015/151120-n-survey-seeks-views-imaging…. Hope that helps. Best wishes to all for a happy, safe and relaxing holiday.
