Written By know. space

The UKRI Research Sustainability team commissioned know.consulting to assess the feasibility of developing a robust methodology to explore trends in the underlying costs of research, how these costs are changing over time, and the drivers behind observed trends.

A report for the UK Research and Innovation.

know.consulting conducted detailed analysis of UKRI grants data and TRAC data, supplemented by targeted stakeholder interviews to gain additional qualitative insights, finding for example that the average research council or UKRI grant increased in size from £480,000 to £730,000 between 2010 and 2019, with real terms increases across all cost categories.
