Higher Education Institutions Dual Support System

The aim of this work is to develop a clear picture of how formula-based funding is used and tensioned against Research Council funding within different types of institutions and across the sector as a whole. This evidence will be used to consider sustainability at the HEI level as well as within and between disciplines and spending areas (such as research, teaching, etc.). The data collected and analysed through this work will reinforce the business case for balance between the dual support system for the next Comprehensive Spending Review, expected to take place in 2019.
