Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê tops new science funding awards

16 February 2003

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê will receive £63,889,111 from the Science Research Investment Fund (SRIF), more than any other university.

Sir Derek Roberts, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê's Provost & President, said: "We are delighted that Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê has received the largest award in the country from the Science Research Investment Fund. This award reflects our position as the leading research institution in the UK and shows a clear commitment from government to investment in scientific excellence."

He continued: "All universities are now faced with the prospect of a very short submission and completion deadline for proposed projects, however we feel sure that this award will allow Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê to develop many exciting scientific projects."

This is the second time Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê has received the largest SRIF award. In 2001, Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê was awarded £46.4 million for research in sciences, engineering and medicine.
