Request Received: 13 April 2021
I am looking to find applicant diversity data on the UKRI Future Leaders scheme. I have viewed the data available (attached) on the UKRI website, but this does not appear to provide data broken down to rejection/success at the interview stage. Given the (i) critical importance of the interview process in these applications, and (ii) the room for unconscious bias in face-to face interviews, I am keen to be able to see that data as well.
Would you be able to share with me this information, or give me links to the relevant pages on your website in case I have missed seeing them?

I am involved with the project which is analyzing the relationships between the UK universities and their profitability. Recently I have been using your Funding Finder Tool to extract the data related to the universities of my interest. In the Projects page (https://gtr.ukri.org/search/project?term=*&fetchSize=25&selectedSortableField=&selectedSortOrder=) I was only able to find the data from 2003 onwards. However, my project is looking at the time interval between 1993 and 2019. Is there any way to find the data from the earlier years? If so, I would greatly appreciate any guidance in accessing the data.
