United Kingdom Research and Innovation

United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) is an organisation in the United Kingdom, in operation from 1 April 2018, that directs research funding. It was established under the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, and brings together the seven existing research councils, as well as Innovate UK and the Research and Knowledge Exchange functions of the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFC), in one unified body. UKRI was created following a report by Sir Paul Nurse, the President of the Royal Society, who recommended the merger in order to increase integrative cross-disciplinary research. The first President of UKRI is the immunologist Professor Sir Mark Walport.
