Making sense of research funding in UK higher education
This factsheet explains the basics of the dual support system and summarises recent moves to ensure the full costs of research are funded and to reform the research assessment system.
It might usefully be read in conjunction with another RIN information booklet, on Government and research policy in UK. We hope that, between them, these publications will help to provide for researchers and others a useful oversight of the policy context affecting the research information environment, and the world of Higher Education more broadly.
The factsheet is available below, along with a document setting out the sources for the financial information.
Hard copies are also available, email contact@rin.ac.uk

Funding for research is important, however, if the money comes easily all the time, it can easily lead inefficiency and unnecessary research.

I hope the recent austerity measures in raising tuition costs will not negatively affect the research funding side, but hopefully energize the private sector to fund. Also, I’m hoping that student-side austerity measures will not happen, like trying for a less expensive online-degree (getting an online mba is becoming popular in the US).
