  10. FOI2025/00405: Quinquennial Review Quadram Institute

    Request Received: 13 April 2025

    I would like to request the latest quinquennial or the institute review, whichever takes place, by BBSRC or UKRI of the Quadram Institute.

    Clarification Received: 24 April 2025

    Thank you for your response and for explaining what information is available and what isn’t. I was hoping BBSRC-funded research institutes such as the Quadram Institute would have undergone quinquennial or institute reviews, and there would be information available similar to, for example, the quinquennial review of The Alan Turing Institute. (https://www.ukri.org/publications/quinquennial-review-of-the-alan-turing-institute/).

    From your response, I understand that BBSRC doesn’t hold such information for the Quadram Institute, as no such review has ever taken place.

    I am not interested in the strategic programme grant application made by the Quadram Institute as part of the institute assessment exercise. However, I would like to request any feedback that was given to the Quadram Institute at the latest institute assessment exercise.
