This independent review, launched in March 2021, was led by Professor Adam Tickell, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Birmingham. The final report draws together the overall scope and context for the review and presents findings and recommendations across different aspects of the research system.

The response provides a roadmap on how the sector will work together to reshape the research system to maximise efficiency and productivity and prevent the build-up of any new unnecessary bureaucracy going forward.

The R&D Forum welcome the response and the relevant Working Groups, such as Research Contracts, AI and Data, Finance and Non-Commercial sponsorship, look forward to working with funders, organisations and researchers to reshape the bureaucracy in research system, making it leaner, more user-friendly and more productive.
