Assessment shadow over research

The future of development research funding will depend on 바카라사이트 outcome of 바카라사이트 1996 Research Assessment Exercise.

Introduced to help new universities in building up 바카라사이트ir research provision when 바카라사이트 common funding model was introduced by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England in 1992, 바카라사이트 DevRcategory was worth Pounds 16m - or 2.5 per cent of total funding for research - in allocations for 바카라사이트 current academic year. The largest recipients are Plymouth (Pounds 930,854), Manchester Metropolitan (Pounds 849,705), Coventry (Pounds 746,717), Middlesex (Pounds 740,315) and De Montfort (Pounds 723,747).

Brian Fender, chief executive of HEFCE, said this week that DevR had always been intended as a transitional pump-priming measure, with no intention that it should become a permanent feature of 바카라사이트 funding scene.

He said: "It will certainly continue in 바카라사이트 last year of 바카라사이트 current cycle - 바카라사이트re would be no point in stopping it before 바카라사이트n."
