Request

Request Received: 21 April 2021

I'd like to make a Freedom of Information request about the studentships awarded by UKRI. I have looked at the summary data on Tableau, I would, however, like a spreadsheet that lists each applicant as a separate line item (so the full anonymised, rather than summary, data). I would like for each unnamed applicant:

- their age,

- the institution/DTP through which they have applied,

- whether they applied prior to or during the PhD,

- the research council,

- ethnicity,

- gender,

- disability.

Can I get this data for the 2014-15 year to the most current year that you have (assuming it is 2020-21)? If you only keep such records for awardees and not applicants, I am happy to receive that (in which case there would, for example, be 6565 rows for the 2014-15 year - according to the Tableau dashboard). I would like to run some correlation analyses, so it is important that I have as granular a data type as I can have access to (rather than the summary).
