Request

Request Received: 14 September 2021

We are currently looking into how the level of neuroscience funding might have changed over time and would appreciate your assistance in finding out more about the UKRI's funding into neuroscience and neuroscience-related disciplines.

Please could you provide me with information on the following, broken down by year and across your various research councils where applicable:

• How many projects have been funded looking at neuroscience or neuroscience-related disciplines in the past 10 years?

• Of the above projects, how much funding has gone into these projects in the past 10 years?

• Of the above projects, can they be separated into specific fields (e.g. mental health, neurodegeneration etc), and what is the breakdown of this in the past 10 years?

• Has the UKRI found a shift in funded projects based on recent innovative neurotechnological developments, including potentially more funding into artificial intelligence and neural interfaces as clinical therapies?

• Over the past 10 years, has the total amount of funding for neuroscience and neuroscience-related disciplines changed (i.e. increased, decreased, stayed the same)?
