Nurse Review of Research Councils
From BioImagingUKWiki
Background
The full Call for Evidence (PDF) outlines the goal of this consultation. Various entities have been asked to respond, including BioImagingUK.
From the consultation doc:
- Strategic decision making: Views are invited on how funding decisions are made; how society and government can engage with science funding decisions; how good decision making can be encouraged at different levels; and how Research Councils can make the best decisions to ensure research drives economic growth and promotes health, quality of life and environmental sustainability.
- Collaborations and partnerships: Views are invited on the effectiveness of the Research Councils’ interactions with each other and with external organisations, as well as the Research Councils’ role in supporting collaborations and partnerships between institutions and between disciplines, and the links between Research Council funded activities and other academic, industrial, European and global R&D activities.
- Balance of the funding portfolio: Views are invited on the Research Councils’ role in delivering an appropriately balanced portfolio of investments in science in the UK, taking into account factors such as government priorities/grand challenges, discovery and applied research, and geographical distribution.
- Effective ways of working: Views are invited on how the Research Councils can operate most effectively within the wider science and innovation system, recognising what works well and identifying opportunities for improvements. You may wish to consider issues such as the strategic leadership provided by the Research Councils, how Research Councils engage with their communities, and the operation of the peer review system.
