About the Funding Agency

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) is the national funding agency investing in science and research in the UK.

Operating across the whole of the UK and with a combined budget of more than £6 billion, UK Research and Innovation is bringing together the seven Research Councils, Innovate UK and a new organisation, Research England.

UK Research and Innovation will be an independent organisation and a strong voice for research and innovation, both to government and internationally, and will be supported and challenged by an independent chair and board. We intend to be an outstanding organisation that ensures the UK maintains its world-leading position in research and innovation. We will do this by creating the best environment for research and innovation to flourish.
