Guaranteed research funding is still available in the UK | Letter

Prof Christopher Smith of UK Research and Innovation responds to an article on grants being lost post-Brexit, and offers some reassurance

I was very sorry to read Prof Jose R Penades's experience of losing research funding (Thanks to Brexit, I lost a 2.5m research grant. I fear for the future of UK science, 18 August).

I did want to take this opportunity, though, to reassure researchers who have been successful in the first and second wave of Horizon Europe calls that guaranteed funding is available through UK Research and Innovation (UKRI).
