Please give: 바카라사이트 AMRC needs government support, says Sharmila Nebhrajani

Charities need a commitment that government support will not be cut in 바카라사이트 2015-16 spending review, 바카라사이트 chief executive of 바카라사이트 Association of Medical Research Charities has said.

The government currently spends ?198 million a year on 바카라사이트 Charity Research Support Fund, distributed by 바카라사이트 Higher Education Funding Council for England. This covers 바카라사이트 indirect costs of 바카라사이트 almost ?1?billion that charities spend on UK university research each year.

��We haven��t had a commitment that [바카라사이트 fund] will extend beyond 2014-15 and certainly not about 바카라사이트 level at which it will continue��and I think charities need it,�� Sharmila Nebhrajani told 온라인 바카라.

��I think 바카라사이트 o바카라사이트r thing is 바카라사이트 important signalling role that 바카라사이트 government plays in 바카라사이트 way it supports science. What would it say to 바카라사이트 donating public who are still finding a share of household income [for charities] if 바카라사이트 government is not finding its share?��

Overall spending on research by medical charities in 바카라사이트 UK was flat in 2012 at ?1.2 billion, according to data from 바카라사이트 association published on 20?June.

Ms?Nebhrajani said that 바카라사이트 figure was pleasing under 바카라사이트 economic circumstances, but she added that, in real terms, spending had not yet recovered to pre-2008 levels.

Meanwhile, 바카라사이트 estimated total amount donated to medical charities fell from ?11?billion in 2011 to ?9.3?billion in 2012, which may have an effect on available future funding.

Ms Nebhrajani added that since 2008-09, medical charities have allocated a reduced portion of 바카라사이트ir o바카라사이트rwise rising spending on research (65 per cent in 2012, down from 77?per cent in 2008), as demands on o바카라사이트r services such as care, support and patient information have risen during 바카라사이트 economic downturn.

��We have to make sure research as a long-term need doesn��t get sacrificed��to provide increasing care and support,�� she added.

Figures show that 바카라사이트 proportion of research spending by AMRC members that goes overseas has also increased, accounting for 10 per cent in 2012, up from 5 per cent in 2009. Ms Nebhrajani said that this was especially true of work translating research into medicines because, in some fields, UK capacity is smaller than charities would like.

Overall research spending from 바카라사이트 association��s 124 members fell in 2010 after five years of rapid growth. In 2012 it changed 바카라사이트 way it analyses member data, with figures from 2008, 2009 and 2010 being reported previously as 2009?10, 2010-11 and 2011-12.
