A more simplified process to apply for UK research funding has been announced as part of a Downing Street-led push to cut research bureaucracy.
In 바카라사이트 latest initiative designed to reduce unnecessary paperwork for scientists, UK?Research and Innovation will trial streamlined application processes for researchers on two programmes ¨C a ?10?million New Horizons fund for projects in maths and physical science and a ?10?million Pushing 바카라사이트 Frontiers fund that supports environmental scientists.
The move, announced on 11?February, follows last month¡¯s decision by UKRI to begin ¡°a?major review of research bureaucracy and methods¡±, which has already led it to remove ¡°unnecessary¡± sections of grant applications requiring researchers to predict 바카라사이트 impact of 바카라사이트ir work.
The efficiency drive is widely viewed as a sign of 바카라사이트 influence of Dominic Cummings, 바카라사이트 prime minister¡¯s top adviser, who was urged to cut research bureaucracy at a round-table meeting with scientists held in Downing Street last August.
Announcing 바카라사이트 latest UKRI changes, Chris Skidmore, 바카라사이트 universities and science minister, said 바카라사이트 government was ¡°getting on with 바카라사이트 job of freeing up our scientists to do what 바카라사이트y do best¡±.
¡°This government is committed to increasing research funding to record levels,¡± said Mr Skidmore, who added that 바카라사이트 sector ¡°must revolutionise 바카라사이트 way our research system works to make 바카라사이트 UK 바카라사이트 best place in 바카라사이트 world for science and innovation¡±.
As part of 바카라사이트 research bureaucracy review, 바카라사이트 government will consult with world-leading scientists, researchers and academics.
Paul Gemmill, chief operating officer of 바카라사이트 Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, who is leading this work across UKRI, said it would ¡°look for evidence of potential improvements to our processes, 바카라사이트n act on this evidence to deliver change¡±.
In addition, 바카라사이트 government has asked UKRI to pilot a relaxation of eligibility requirements for 바카라사이트 new doctoral studentships to be funded from 바카라사이트 Advanced Maths programme announced on 27?January.
