This is the context in which I and all my colleagues are being told that we must bring in a minimum of £25k in external funding per year. We get 100 hours of research time per year. The bid-writing process will take up most of it.
After submitting a FOIA request UKRI, I obtained success rates by three grant call scheme and I can only say that I am disheartened by the results:
- AHRC Responsive Mode 2025: 2%
- ESRC New Investigator Grant 2025: 1%
