Research Councils' response to budget allocations announcement
The Research Councils have recognised the Government’s continuing support for UK research in the recent announcement of allocations from the research and innovation budget. The Research Councils will collectively publish a summary response on their spending plans and priorities next week.
The budget allocations follow an overall positive settlement for research in last November’s Comprehensive Spending Review at a time when many parts of public expenditure are being reduced significantly. In particular, the confirmation of the £1.5 billion Global Challenges Research Fund (GCRF) presents an opportunity for all parts of the UK research community to play a full role in deploying our world-class capabilities and resources in support of international development.
