    Last modified: 20/07/2012 08:57:34

    Institution: RCUK

    This analysis summarises responses to RCUK’s 2011 survey of research organisations (ROs) regarding the impact of Roberts funding to date, responses to changes in funding and strategies to 2013.

    The 2011 survey was voluntary and consisted of open-ended questions.
