I would like to make the following request under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
I understand that BBSRC is responsible for at least one Biosafety Level 4 (or Containment Level 4) laboratory, at Pirbright.
Could you please provide me with details of all safety incidents and/or accidents at such facilities involving pathogens, biological agents, gases or any other dangerous chemicals, from 2010 to the present?
I would expect this to include any RIDDOR incidents, but also any internally reported safety incidents that may not fall under the scope of RIDDOR.
Could you also please specify the exact pathogen/agent/chemical involved in each incident.

Percentage of ESRC funded students that do not hand-in within the funded period but do hand-in during the writing up period for the last 10 academic years i.e. from 2010 - 2020.
If the data could be broken down via full and part-time students that would also be helpful.
If possible, could I also request information pertaining to the percentage of ESRC funded students that do hand-in within the funded period 2010 -2020.
"Hand-in" - defined as the initial submission of their thesis. The scope would be those that had an expected submission within the timeframe.

I am trying to gain a better understanding of the support of Innovate UK by sector in the UK specifically, for competitions which are "Open" - i.e. the present iteration of SMART.
Therefore, I am requesting under the Freedom of Information act the following:
1) For the 2 most recent SMART ROUNDS (Innovate UK Smart Grants: November 2020 ID:762; Innovate UK Smart Grants: August 2020 ID:701), split by upper (projects >19 months <£2M) and lower stream (projects <18 months <£500K) where possible, a breakdown of total number of applications and successful applications by "Innovation Area" - as selected at point of submission (under Applications details)
2) If possible a count of "active" reviewers for each of the listed innovation areas.
3) If (1) is not possible (for example it would take it over the time limit as you would have to log into each application to extract the "innovation area") please can I request instead a list of all Lead Organizations which have applied to each round, split by stream.
4) If (3) is not possible a breakdown of total number of applications and successful applications by company SIC code (as available from Companies House).
