UKRI Funding Review

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) has recently announced changes to budgets and priorities across its research councils. Some funding schemes have been paused while UKRI reviews its investment plans in line with government priorities. 

Further information can be found on our Guidance on UKRI research funding web page, where we have listed details of affected schemes and will continue to monitor official UKRI announcements. (Feb 2026)
