  6. Request Received: 19 May 2020

    I am trying to find-out the percentage or actual amount of UKRI research council grants that is spent by the research projects on Information Technology (IT). i.e. How much of the grant does a research group typically spend on IT to support their research project/investigation?

    I don't know if you published this sort of information or if you would be willing to disclose it please? As I imagine this will vary considerably by research discipline, ideally it would be at least a figure for each of the 9 councils as separate figures. If that breakdown is not possible, then perhaps an overall figure for all UKRI awarded grants.
