Grant announcements

Every March we announce the grant for the following academic year to each university and college that we fund. In July we issue funding agreements to institutions incorporating any necessary changes to grant. A final allocation statement is made later in the year.

Grant announcement for higher education 2010-11 (18 March 2010)
Provisional allocations of recurrent funding for 2010-11 (HEFCE 2010/08) (March 2010)

Summary of allocations 2010-11 (March 2010)

The total HEFCE grant available for the 2010-11 academic year is £7,356 million. This total includes:

Teaching	£4,727 million (of which £144 million is for widening participation and £269 million for teaching enhancement and student success)
Research	£1,603 million
Business and the community	£150 million
Special funding	£294 million
Earmarked capital funding	£562 million

These figures are correct as of March 2010. In July 2010 we announced revised allocations incorporating additional funding of £152 million for the University Modernisation Fund (UMF) and a reduction of £82 million from our baseline teaching grant. These changes arose from the revised grant letter to us from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills of 24 June 2010.

The revised total for teaching is now £4,719 million (arising from an addition of £44 million for the teaching grant element of the UMF and a £52 million reduction to the recurrent teaching baseline).
The revised total for earmarked capital is £532 million, because of the reduction of £30 million in teaching capital.
There are also additional sums for the UMF of £88 million to support efficiency projects and £20 million for shared services.

The total available for distribution is therefore £7,426 million.
