UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) Simpler and Better Funding (SBF) programme is creating a funding service that is easy to use and supports everyone involved in research funding.
Our goal is to operate a single, consistent user-centred service that:
- reduces the burden of finding, applying for and managing research funding
- gives UKRI evidence to support funding the best ideas
- can respond and adapt easily to change
The SBF programme is delivering a funding service based on a new digital platform, underpinned by improved policies, processes and support. These changes will make it easier for researchers and innovators to collaborate, obtain guidance, and submit applications in a joined-up way.
The new UKRI Funding Service will replace UKRI’s existing systems, including the Joint Electronic Submission (Je-S) system. Ultimately, the new service will support all UKRI funding opportunities, of every type, and from any UKRI organisation.
