Research England is investing £156 million to support 18 universities across England to expand their small, but outstanding research units.
From rural and coastal health research to mathematics for artificial intelligence, and digital innovations in health and social care to blended realities. Research England is investing in a diverse range of units across disciplines, as well as geographical regions in England.
The investment will help these units build the capacity and quality of their research through supporting a research skills pipeline to benefit local economies, society, and cultures.
The funding comes from Research England’s Expanding Excellence in England (E3) Fund. The 18 projects are funded from the second round. The first round funded 13 units in 2019.
