You can use this guide to find out how UK research is funded and how advice is given to government on scientific matters. It also includes information about how devolution in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is influencing UK science, engineering and technology.
The UK Research Councils are independent public bodies responsible to the Department of Innovation, Universities and Skills (DIUS). They play a pivotal role in UK research, providing strategy and vision, working with leading researchers, industrialists and other research users to identify and map research opportunities as they emerge.
This ensures that the UK has the skilled researchers, research infrastructure and knowledge transfer processes to produce world -leading research and innovative technologies for UK industry.
