Review launched to reduce red tape for UK researchersA new independent review into UK research bureaucracy will identify ways to free up researchers to pursue world class research. ![]()
Removing unnecessary red tape that wastes the time of UK researchers will be the focus of a new independent review into research bureaucracy, launched today (Monday 22 March 2021) by Science Minister Amanda Solloway. The review, led by Professor Adam Tickell, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Sussex, will seek to identify why bureaucracy has increased across the UK’s research system. It will provide recommendations to help reduce time-consuming administrative demands, freeing up researchers to pursue world-class research, so that they can generate knowledge, develop and mentor their teams, and make a full contribution to the wider research community. It will look to identify practical solutions to bureaucratic issues faced by researchers across the UK such as overly complicated grant forms that require in-depth financial knowledge, a lack of clarity over funding available to researchers, and having to provide the same data multiple times in different formats to different funders. Its recommendations will balance safeguarding the need to demonstrate impact and value for money while supporting the UK research environment, particularly higher education institutions, to be more streamlined, dynamic, diverse and transparent. Amanda Solloway, Minister for Science, Research and Innovation, said:
Professor Adam Tickell, University of Sussex, said:
The system-wide review will conclude by early 2022, with interim findings due to be published this autumn. It will involve broad engagement with the whole UK research community, with a particular focus being placed on research undertaken in higher education institutions. The government’s R&D Roadmap, published in July 2020, set out the government’s ambitious vision for the future of UK R&D, including the goal of minimising bureaucracy whilst maintaining flexibility, diversity and necessary accountability. This review is the next phase in delivering on that commitment. It builds on the government’s introduction of specific measures in September 2020 by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the National Health Institute for Research (NIHR) and the Office for Students (OfS) to reduce bureaucracy in the university research and teaching system. This included streamlining over 200 UKRI grant schemes and introducing a digital grants application system to speed up the process. Ottoline Leyser, CEO of UK Research and Innovation, said:
Professor Julia Buckingham, President of Universities UK and Vice-Chancellor of Brunel University London, said:
