<p>The UK Research Partnership Investment Fund is a competitive research capital programme
to support strategic research and development collaborations between universities,
businesses and charities. It is managed by Research England, working with counterparts
from devolved funding bodies, and only supports large scale infrastructure projects
which are built on demonstrable research excellence, value for money, and can generate
at least double in private co-investment.</p><p> </p><p>Since 2012 over £900m of science
and research capital has been committed from the Fund to 54 projects which have secured
an initial commitment of over £2bn in private investment. No projects were awarded
to universities in Scotland from the latest round. In the first 5 rounds, £58.98m
was committed to 5 projects in Scotland which collectively secured over £121m of private
co-investment. This represents 6.5% of total funding allocated and 5.5% of the initial
private co-investment.</p>
