What type of research grants are awarded in the UK?

Government research grants in the UK are dedicated to supporting ventures that can lead to new knowledge or capabilities, and may benefit society as a whole. As such, there are many government research grants and programmes awarded to the United Kingdom via government funding programmes. For example, the United Kingdom Research Council provides non-repayable contributions to small businesses that may be interested in developing new technology or are pursuing new processes related to research and may also have a small business application.
