Request Received: 5 March 2021
I would like to request the following information related to STFC PhD studentship quota allocations:
* The values that are used in the algorithm described here (https://stfc.ukri.org/files/algorithm-revision-july-2018/) to arrive at the final student quota per institution, i.e.: - per-institute values of V, Q, the adjustment for previous submission rates, the numbers of fellow holders as described under the "Definition of volume" heading on the above link, and the number of FTE RA posts as described under the "Definition of quality" heading on the above link - the constant of proportionality used
I request these figures for the calculations that went into determining the studentship quotas for the academic years 2020/2021 and 2021/2022, please.
… I notice the allocation is performed separately between subject area. I am requesting the details for the Astronomy allocations if it is easier to provide just those.
