The Department for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) and UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) developed a series of support packages for research organisations to sustain publicly funded research, staff, and infrastructures during the start of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The support was not provided to tackle long-standing issues such as research culture or underfunded areas, but to alleviate pressures on research as a direct result of COVID-19. These support packages were provided against a backdrop of wider COVID-19 related investments and strategic decisions across government departments. This study is focused on evaluating these support packages – referred to as research stabilisation interventions.
