The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) ARI document sets out areas of research would support the department바카라 사이트™s Single Departmental Plan.

It is part of the government바카라 사이트™s response to the 2015 Nurse review of the UK Research Councils. The government accepted the recommendation for a more strategic approach to departmental R&D programmes, with a more sophisticated dialogue with academia.

바카라 사이트˜Areas of Research Interest바카라 사이트™ (ARI) documents set out important research questions for each department. They include information on departmental research systems, research and data publication policies and research and development strategies, and will help to:

  • better align scientific and research evidence from academia with policy development and decision-making
  • improve access for departments to a wider range of suppliers
  • support more coherent engagement with researchers
