UCL top in research council income

UCL researchers and those who support their grant applications to research councils are to be congratulated,. writes Professor David Price, UCL Vice-Provost (Research) . Our awards in 2012-13 surpassed £135 million, making us the top recipient of research council grants by value. We attracted more than £30 million more than our leading competitors, Cambridge and Imperial. Our overall success rate by number of applications was 33% - again in the very top tier. As reported in the THE , "UCL's total represents a 90% rise on the previous year's figures at a time when the total value of research council grant allocations increased by about 50%." This is a very pleasing outcome, resulting from hard work by many colleagues to submit high-quality applications. Where we really noticed a tremendous boost was in cross-disciplinary consortia around global challenges, such as infectious diseases, energy demand and dementia.
