    3. DEFINITION(RCUK) Research Councils are the public bodies charged with investing tax payers money in science and research in the UK in order advance knowledge and generate new ideas which can be used to create wealth and drive improvements in quality of life

    4. UKsseven Research Councils 1-Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) 2-Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) 3-Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) 4-Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) 5-Medical Research Council (MRC) 6-Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) 7-Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC)

    5. RCUK ROLES 1-enabling dialogue about research priorities, facilitating an open and collective approach to investing in multidisciplinary research and training; 2-making it easier for Councils and external stakeholders to work together, promoting dialogue, collaboration and partnership; articulating coherently the activities, views and opinions of the Research Councils to increase their collective visibility and policy influence; 3-working jointly with the academic community and other funders to provide more effective and efficient services for the research community, reducing the level of bureaucracy on researchers and university administrators; 4-improving Councils operational performance by sharing best practice and making efficiency gains to release more Science Budget resources for research

    6. TOTAL STATISTICS OF RCUK Each Research Council funds research and training activities in a different area of research ranging across the arts and humanities, social sciences, engineering and physical sciences and the medical and life sciences. The Councils employ around 12,000 staff, and support around 30,000 researchers, including 15,500 doctoral students in UK universities and in their own Research Institutes

    7. Annual Investment In UKsseven Research Councils. Each year the Research Councils invest around 2.8 billion in research covering the full spectrum of academic disciplines from the medical and biological sciences to astronomy, physics, chemistry and engineering, social sciences, economics, environmental sciences and the arts and humanities

    8. Research Councils Main Objects The seven grant-awarding Research Councils have common objectives, which are to: 1-fund basic, strategic and applied research; 2-support postgraduate training (PhDs and masters students and fellows); 3-advance knowledge and technology and provide services and trained scientists and engineers to contribute to the economic competitiveness, the effectiveness of public services and policy, and quality of life; 4-support science in society activities.

    9. RESEARCH COUNCILS ACTIVITIES 1- Research 2- Training 3- Knowledge Transfer 4-Science in Society

    10. 1-RESEARCH Research Councils support research through three principal mechanisms: 1-By providing project or program funding to higher education institutions, as part of the dual support system. 2-By funding research in their own research facilities. The status of these facilities varies some are located in universities, some are wholly owned and administered, while others are more independent, sponsored institutes; 3-By providing access to large facilities for UK researchers. This can be through international subscriptions or the funding of national facilities.

    11. 2-Training Research Council training encompasses those activities that develop the careers of researchers and includes postgraduate training at masters and PhD level, postdoctoral awards and research fellowships to established individuals. Each year, UK Research Councils invest around 300 million in these activities

    12. 3-Knowledge Transfer The Research Councils believe that the maximum benefit is derived from their investments. They run a number of initiatives that aim to encourage the flow of ideas, trained people and knowledge to potential users and beneficiaries in business, in government and in the voluntary and charitable sectors. These activities can be placed under four broad headings: 1-Co-operation in education and training at masters and doctoral level 2-People and knowledge flow 3-Collaborative research with users 4-Commercialization including IP exploitation and entrepreneurial activities

    13. 4-Science in Society The Research Councils promote the flow of authoritative information and exchange of views between scientists, members of the public and policy-makers. By doing so, they aim to: 1-Foster a climate of trust between these different groups, to enable UK scientists to carry out world-leading research. 2-Contribute to the development of a society which is equipped to engage with science and ensure the supply to the UK economy of scientists, engineers and other researchers. As the UKs largest investors in fundamental research, the Research Councils are well placed to bring cutting edge science and scientists into schools
