Research Proposal Funding Rates

Transcription

1 Research Proposal Funding Rates Funding rates have been calculated from the number and value of research proposals announced or rejected between 1 April 2015 and 31 March In this period, EPSRC considered 2,425 research grant proposals through peer review and provided funding for 784, giving a funding rate of 32% 1. This amounted to a demand of 1,646 million, with funding of 509 million and a funding rate by value of 31% 1. Where outline proposals have been submitted (in response to a call for outline proposals) the funding rate is calculated from the number and value of full proposals short-listed after the sifting of outline proposals. The data excludes Fellowship awards and Training awards. Funding rates (in terms of number and value of research proposals) are presented by Theme; for the total portfolio and for each HEI which has received research grant funding in the financial year During the year there was an average of 11 people constrained by the Repeatedly Unsuccessful Applicants policy. At March 2016 the number of constrained people was 12 and the number of people who were close 2 to becoming constrained was 115.
