Request Received: 12 May 2020
Could I get details of the process behind the Construction Innovation Hub's decision to award funding jointly to the BRE and the Construction Products Association, for a project called 'Lexicon'?
I'm interested in what the brief / specification was for this funding, who bidded for the funding and ultimately why the BRE and CPA were awarded funding?
I'd also like to know exactly how much funding was awarded and what it will be used for?
Finally, I'd be interested to understand how and why it was deemed appropriate for the Construction Innovation Hub, which is jointly operated by the BRE, to award public funds to the BRE?

I'm writing to ask for "Statistical data on brain resource collected or possessed by your institute from 2015 to 2019".
I'm interested in statistics on 'human' samples and I need both the number of individuals the institutes of NIH NeuroBioBank hold samples on and the number of samples in total. In addition, I need the number of brain resources and its types held by the Institutes because I want to emphasize the global lack of brain resources and the significance of brain banks as its coping plan.

Request Received: 13 March 2020
Under the Freedom of Information Act I wish to request information in relationship to all funding and competition (specifically awards of over £25,000) that has been provided within the scope of energy and related sectors (such as transport and built environments), specifically in relationship to assistance for the creation, development, piloting or growth of technologies or services.
I would specifically like a report that details the following information of each award
1. Name of winning organisation
2. Date of competition or funding acceptance
3. Title of competition of fund
4. Current commercial status of the winning organisation
5. Current status of service that the funding assisted
Although some of this information is already published I believe items 4 & 5 are not available publicly. I believe it would be appropriate for this information to cover the last 10 years of awards
