Introduction

This section contains data on STFC (and formerly PPARC) research grants awarded and applied for.

Information on STFC grants can be viewed according to a variety of factors including:

Data limitation note

When viewing the statistics in this section it is worth noting that there isn't always a direct relationship between the number or value of grants applied for and the number or value of grants awarded. This is largely due to timing. For instance, if a grant application was made towards the end of one financial year the final decision to award it may not be made until the start of the following financial year.

There will always be some 'time lag' in the statistics for grants applied for and grants awarded. For this reason data in the tables for the number of grants applied for is more a measure of volume rather than an indication of success rates.
