  4. Request Received: 17 February 2021

    Could I start by making a FOI request for all the information that is available for project 971524 please?

    Clarified: 17 February 2021

    The project reference is included on your "20210101_Innovate_UK_Funded_Projects.xlsx" spreadsheet.

    The company is Activirosomes Ltd. It is the 2017/18 project I am interested in.

    There is no information available in terms of results and conclusions on your https://gtr.ukri.org/ gateway and, having looked at the company's financial reporting there appears to be no indication that the grant went through the company's books. So I am principally interested in how and where the grant money was spent and what was achieved by the project.

  7. Request Received: 4 December 2019

    First request 2019/0280:

    We are interested in determining how your budget is spent geographically - specifically how much and what percentage of your budget is spent in each Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) area of England? It would be great if you could provide this information for the past five years if possible.


    Follow up Request 2019/00005:

    1. On top of the Innovate UK monies, what else is included in the figures you have provided?

    2. We are particularly interested in information relating to University Research Funding and Block Grant - please can you provide further information on LEP spend for these, for all parts of the country?

    3. You said that you do not hold any data relevant to our request from Research England. Who does hold this information? What is your role and what information do you hold in relation to Research England? If it is a case that you are unable to provide information by LEP level, we are happy to receive it at postcode level or an alternative (lowest level) geography.

    4. Please can you provide actual figures for spend, and not just %.

    Clarification was requested on 04 December 2019 to check if you would like to know how much money is used to fund catapults or the grants catapults are involved in.

    The following Clarification was received on 04 December 2019:

    5. We are interested in money used to fund the catapult and grants they receive (not the total grants they are involved in) Why - we would like to understand what is spent in our area, as national centres and big re-ceiver of grants, the catapults can potentially distort the figures - this is important since the Catapult in our area is split across 2 LEP areas - but since its HQ is in the Tees Valley all the funds are nominally allo-cated to our LEP region.

  9. Request Received: 23 November 2019

    I am writing to request the provisional titles, and holding organisations, for all grant applications reviewed by the Research Grants Panel(s) from 2005-present. I am aware that information pertaining to successful applications within the past five years is available via the AHRC website. However, the only information available regarding unsuccessful applications is their number per sitting. If it is cost-effective to do so, I also request to receive these in hard-copy, to the address below.
