UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) are making a permanent change to responsive mode grants, to maintain flexible start dates introduced as response to COVID-19.
UKRI introduced a number of flexible policy changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
One change was to allow a period of up to six months from the announced start date to commence grant activity on responsive mode grants.
In response to feedback, UKRI are now making a permanent change to its responsive mode grant awards to maintain this flexibility.
