The Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT) has announced that it will allocate £13.9 billion in funding for research and development in the next year. 

Nicola Perrin, Chief Executive of the Association of Medical Research Charities, said:

“Research brings benefits to patients across the UK and is vital to economic growth and productivity. Continued government backing for R&D is therefore welcome, especially given the tough economic climate. We look forward to seeing this support reflected in upcoming developments such as the life sciences sector plan and Spending Review.”
