    Brief

    UKRI is seeking to support rigorous, empirical research that measures and estimates the economic and social returns on investments in research and development (R&D). This funding opportunity aims to develop reliable consensus estimates that narrow the range of existing return estimates, providing evidence-based insights to inform both public and private sector R&D investment decisions. Research should employ robust methodologies to quantify the broader impacts of R&D spending on productivity, innovation, employment, and societal benefits, ultimately helping policymakers and business leaders make more informed investment choices.
