Provided in this post is information about BU’s RKE income profile, covering the period 2008-09 to 2014-15. BU’s overall RKE income is increasing steadily, from just below £5m in 2008-09 to almost £7m in 2014-15 (this later figure increases further when the NHS CPD income is added in). Within this, the profile of our research income has changed – we are now significantly less reliant on UK Government funding (NHS, English Heritage, etc) and are successfully obtaining more prestigious research funding, such as UK Research Councils, British Academy, EC, etc. BU’s Research Council income has increased by 148% since 2008-09 and has been our largest research funding stream for the past three years. EU income has increased from c. £200k in 2008-09 to c. £760k in 2014-15 (an increase of c. 263%). Although still small, research income received from international sources outside of the EU is also steadily increasing.
All of this is excellent news and shows how BU is increasing research income, especially from highly prestigious sources such as the UK Research Councils.
