Overview
**Please note this is not a call for competition** This is a PIN notice for an event UK Research and Innovation have a requirement for Strategic Priorities Fund evaluation. The Strategic Priorities Fund (SPF) is one of UKRI's flagship cross-cutting National Productivity Investment Funds.
The SPF builds on Paul Nurse's vision of a 'common fund' to support high quality multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research programmes, which could have otherwise been missed through traditional funding channels. Its objectives are to: drive an increase in high-quality multi and interdisciplinary research and innovation; ensure that UKRI's investments link up effectively with government research priorities and opportunities; and ensure the system responds to strategic priorities and opportunities.
The SPF consists of a diverse range of research and innovation activities at various stages of maturity. An overview of some of the SPF programmes can be found here: https://www.ukri.org/research/themes-and-programmes/strat... UKRI is committed to rigorous evaluation of its key programmes and would like to commission an independent evaluation of its investments in the SPF Wave 1 and 2 portfolio, with process and impact elements.
