Vice-Chancellor's Report

27 May 1998

3. Research Grants and Contracts

• Income for research was marginally higher last year, but only because contributions in kind are now included, with estimates of value.
• New grants and contracts this year are uneven across faculties.
• The University achieves good overhead recovery rates, compared to the sector as a whole, and research income is vital for financial strength.
• Every active researcher should be preparing for Framework Programme 5 opportunities.
