Request
Request Received: 23 July 2021
I'd like to make a request for data on UKRI funded projects which have undergone cuts to their budgets during 2021-22 due to UKRI's reduced ODA budget.
I would like a copy of any spreadsheet that UKRI has which details the cuts to the budgets of grants that have been part of the ODA review as announced by UKRI International Champion Christopher Smith in his 11 March letter: https://www.ukri.org/our-work/ukri-oda-letter-11-march-2021/
If you do not have such spreadsheets or cannot provide them, please can you send me data on all active projects that have undergone any ODA-related cuts, including those under the Global Challenges Research Fund, the Newton Fund, and any other ODA grants programme administered by UKRI.
Please include the following information for each grant:
•The original overall value
•The initial value of the 2021-22 allocation
•The revised value of the 2021-22 allocation after the cuts were agreed between the lead research institution and UKRI
•The project reference code as detailed in Gateway to Research
In addition, please can you provide me with the following data on ODA-funded grants on which funding decisions had been made, but which had not started before 1 April 2021 and were cancelled:
•The original overall value
•The name of the administering research council
•The lead research organisation
•The principal investigator
•The project title
•The start and end dates
•The topic classifications
•The name of the funding programme
