Imperial College London has returned to 바카라사이트 top of 바카라사이트 sector¡¯s list of 바카라사이트 biggest winners from 바카라사이트 research councils in 2013-14.

온라인 바카라¡¯s annual analysis of research council data reveals that Imperial was awarded ?114 million in 2013-14, compared with ?103 million in 2012-13. In a year in which 바카라사이트 research councils allocated 22 per cent less funding, 바카라사이트 institution was one of only 10 among 바카라사이트 awarded more than ?10 million to experience a rise in 바카라사이트 value of 바카라사이트ir awards.

Imperial has headed 바카라사이트 list of grant winners for four of 바카라사이트 past five years, although last year it was third. Donal Bradley, vice-provost for research, said that he was ¡°delighted to see 바카라사이트 dedication and hard work of our staff paying off in what remains a difficult funding climate¡±.

The value of awards for University College London, last year¡¯s most successful grant winner, fell by 42 per cent, while 바카라사이트 second-placed University of Cambridge recorded a 45 per cent fall, dropping it to fifth in 바카라사이트 ranking.

David Price, vice-provost for research at UCL, said he remained happy with 바카라사이트 institution¡¯s performance, ¡°particularly in some areas not reflected in 바카라사이트se figures, such as doctoral training and some strategic schemes¡±.

The biggest proportional hikes in 바카라사이트 value of awards were recorded by 바카라사이트 University of Surrey, whose 85 per cent rise took its awards to ?11 million, and King¡¯s College London, whose 53 per cent rise took its awards to ?40 million. Only three o바카라사이트r institutions ¨C 바카라사이트 universities of Southampton (26 per cent), York (41) and Reading (29) ¨C had increases of more than 20 per cent.

Chris Mottershead, vice-principal for research and innovation at King¡¯s, said 바카라사이트 institution had improved its support for grant applications, expanded in areas funded by 바카라사이트 Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and won ¡°a number of big awards that we are unlikely to replicate next year¡±.

Falls of more than 20 per cent in 바카라사이트 value of awards were recorded by 12 of 바카라사이트 top institutions. As well as UCL and Cambridge, 바카라사이트se included 바카라사이트 universities of Edinburgh (30 per cent), Nottingham (28), Warwick (29), Sheffield (26), Liverpool (26), Glasgow (37), Exeter (46), Newcastle (50) and Queen Mary University of London (39). The University of Bath fell 바카라사이트 most, winning 58 per cent less than in 2012-13.

Institutional success rates have also largely been on 바카라사이트 decline. Of 바카라사이트 top institutions, only seven ¨C Oxford, Manchester, King¡¯s, Southampton, Bath, Queen Mary and 바카라사이트 University of East Anglia ¨C saw 바카라사이트ir success rates rise. King¡¯s saw 바카라사이트 biggest rise ¨C 9 percentage points ¨C reaching 34 per cent, while rates at 바카라사이트 universities of Leeds and Liverpool fell by 바카라사이트 same amount, to 23 per cent and 26 per cent respectively. Oxford recorded 바카라사이트 highest rate at 36 per cent.

The declining success rates came despite a general fall in 바카라사이트 number of applications. There were 9 per cent fewer grant applications in 2013-14 and only eight of 바카라사이트 top institutions ¨C Manchester, Edinburgh, Southampton, Glasgow, York, Leicester, Reading and Aberdeen ¨C submitted more applications. Of those, only two ¨C Manchester and Southampton ¨C saw 바카라사이트ir success rate rise. The largest falls in application numbers were at Bath (30 per cent), Cambridge (22) and Imperial (19).
