Funding from UK Research and Innovation should be allocated through block grants and project-based calls, without any major shifts in the balance, Geoffrey Crossick, former head of the Arts and Humanities Research Board tells Research Fortnight.
Research Fortnight asked those who have shaped British research in recent years what they thought of the rise of UKRI, in the days ahead of its official launch. This is what they said.
- Jackie Hunter: UKRI should explore different incentives to interdisciplinarity
- Alun Evans: UKRI should review balance of funding among areas
- John Womersley: UKRI should speak up on Brexit
- Norman Lamb: UKRI will require continued scrutiny
- Robert Lechler: Let the councils keep their identities
- David Delphy: Beware of turf wars
