<p>Research funding allocations to universities from Research England are based primarily
on the performance of their research departments under the Research Excellence Framework
while project funding is allocated through competition, for example from the Research
Councils. Research allocations are made irrespective of whether the university has
been assessed through the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcome Framework.</p><p>
</p><p>From the Autumn, Government will provide research-active higher education providers
across the UK with a package of support to sustain research capacity which is at risk
from income losses due to COVID-19, consisting of low-interest loans with long pay-back
periods, supplemented by a small amount of government grants. This will cover up to
80% of a university’s income losses from international students for the academic year
20/21, up to the value of their non-publicly funded research activity. In order to
be eligible, the provider in England must be an “Approved (Fee Cap)” provider registered
with the Office for Students and already in receipt of Research England funding.</p>
