The Strategic Research Programmes respond to the need for cross-cutting evidence to inform policy by facilitating collaboration across scientific disciplines and between Main Research Providers (MRPs), and through partnership working with other UK funders of research. Scientific excellence continues to be a priority and all research proposals were peer reviewed by scientific experts and by users of the research outputs. Further details of these requirements can be found in the Introduction to the Invitation to Tender.
The Directors of the MRPs have formed a Directors' Executive Committee to oversee delivery of the research programmes. The Committee reports to a Strategic Research Programme Board twice yearly.
The Knowledge Exchange strategy for the programmes sets out how the desired outcomes of the research will be achieved through effective communication of research findings to the main users. It also describes how the success of the knowledge exchange activities will be assessed.
