Sector Consultation
UK-Wide Consultation - Future Research Assessment Programme
Background
The Future Research Assessment Programme (FRAP) was launched by the four funding bodies (Research England, Scottish Funding Council, Higher Education Funding Council for Wales, Department for the Economy, Northern Ireland) in May 2021. FRAP was initiated at the request of UK and devolved government ministers and funding bodies and will evaluate REF2021 aiming to explore possible future approaches to the assessment of UK higher education research performance.
