Details

The international co-investigator policy allows overseas collaborators to be included as co-investigators on applications to eligible UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) research funding opportunities.

Following the publication of the UKRI International Strategic Framework, this review set out to understand how the policy was operating and the value it brings to UK researchers and their overseas collaborators.

The review included:

  • analysis of application and award data
  • a survey of principal investigators on international co-investigator awards and of their international co-investigators
  • a workshop with 10 research organisations and semi-structured interviews with the three UKRI councils that operated the policy at the time of the review
