Reviews

Each year, UK Government spends around £1.5 billion on civil Research and Development (R&D) to support delivery of departments' objectives. Sir David King, the Government Chief Scientific Adviser (GCSA), has set up a rolling programme of reviews of Government science to assess its quality and use.

The Office of Science and Innovation (OSI) is reviewing the way Government departments identify their science requirements and commission, quality assure and use science and scientific advice. The intention is to review all of the main science-using departments over the next few years.
