Event Details

In April, UKRI updated their fEC Grant Terms and Conditions – UKRI-020424-FECGrantTermsConditionsApril2024.pdf

This included the new (and improved) RGC 2.7.2 as follows:

RGC 2.7.2 Clauses around national security must be included in all grant agreements – regardless of technology area or partners involved – to allow relevant ongoing support by UKRI. Where required and agreed, and in line with all relevant data protection legislation, we will consult appropriate wider technical agencies across HMG to provide further assistance and recommendation.

The standard templates in the sector do not have clauses for national security, and so to help research organisations understand what UKRI would consider appropriate to include (especially in low risk scenarios), Professor Karen Salt, UKRI’s Trusted Research and Innovation Portfolio Director, has kindly agreed to a Q&A session.
