Request
Request Received: 18 May 2023
I am attempting to establish some baseline data regarding Atlantic Salmon population change research. I would be tremendously grateful if you would be able to provide me with the following information to inform my research project.
By year, over the financial years 2013/14 to 2022/23 inclusive details of applications received and projects funded (research, studentships, innovation and engagement activities) sorted by research council (and IUK)) which address: Atlantic Salmon population monitoring; aquaculture impacts on the species; water engineering interventions for Atlantic Salmon protection; genetic integrity studies of the species; and, economics of salmon aquaculture.
Further, it would be helpful to receive information about any engagement or outreach events that may have been supported or delivered by UKRI (and RCUK as was, IUK or individual councils) during the same time period - e.g., the event title, date and any weblinks/publicly available reports.
I would appreciate the following information about the identified activities.
Applications
Title, submission date (or proposed start date), proposed Department and host institution, name of PI (if that is allowable under GDPR), sum requested and a copy of the abstract where Seibel captured that.
Awards
Title, start and end date, Department and host institution, name of PI. Sum awarded and a copy of the abstract
I recognise this is quite a complex request, and I understand that you have limited time resources. If it is difficult to sift projects about Atlantic Salmon in the way requested, if you could perhaps provide a list of all applications and awards on the species by research council (and IUK) including the information as per 'Awards' above, and provide details about any engagement or outreach events, I could work with that.
Further information received:
I would be tremendously grateful if you would be able to provide me with the requested information. It is not available via the GtR because the filters are insufficiently sensitive to access the categorical information, and searches by title only are producing inaccurate data - e.g., it is listing projects with some focus on aspects of the Atlantic ocean and not the issue related to the species as requested. For example, the search produced projects and publications re urban flood risk on peri Atlantic cities. Hardly related to species decline or genetic diversity… Further, GtR does not hold data regarding events and activities as requested.
