Funders Forum

The overall purpose of Funders Forum is to have open and enriching discussions among high-level research funders regarding the knowledge on the practice of research (referred to as ‘Research on Research’). This area has been an evolving discipline in recent years, which draws on a range of interdisciplinary methods to understand and improve how research is funded, practiced and evaluated. Research on Research takes an evidence-led approach that seeks to maximise the efficiency, effectiveness, fairness and impact of research.

The potential insights that can be gained through such ‘meta-research’ approaches can help funders to promote increased transparency in funding practices, optimise resource allocation, inform best practice, set science and research policy, and maximise the impact of investments in research.

Presentations from the forum can be found below:
