The University of Worcester and Staffordshire
University will both lose more than 10 per cent
of their research funding, although the overall
sums involved are relatively small.
As Times Higher Education has reported, Hefce
said that rejigging the funding formula to favour
4* work would "provide an initial step towards increased
concentration".
An extra £32 million was added to the total research
grant this year to counter the effects of
inflation, which Hefce calculated at 2 per cent.
The total sum for 2010-11 is £1.6 billion, of
which £1.1 billion is mainstream quality-related
research funding.
Overall, the Russell Group universities' share will
increase from 62.2 to 62.6 per cent.
Other university groupings - the 1994 Group, the
University Alliance, Million+ and GuildHE - will
all see their pots shrink by small amounts to accommodate
the change.
However, not all of the newer members will
lose out: the University of Huddersfield will gain
£200,000 (up 9.9 per cent), while London Metropolitan
University and the University of Bedfordshire
both stand to gain more than 6 per cent.
Across the sector, 37 institutions will see higher-than-inflation
rises in research funding, while 85 will face realterm
losses.
Among the members of the Russell Group that will lose
research income are the University of Liverpool, down
£448,000 (1.2 per cent), and Newcastle University,
down £170,000 (0.5 per cent).
