Mapping and analysis of research and KE funding sources for operational research in the UK

Clark, Alistair

Abstract

This project came about in 2013 after a discussion with the Chair of the Education and Research Committee of the Operational Research Society (ORS) about obtaining a clearer idea of the range and characteristics of sources of funding for research in OR. There are well-known funders such as EPSRC and the European Commission about which it would be useful to collate experiences and perceptions, but more helpful would be to identify and learn about less-known sources of funding. The resulting analysis and insights may help members of the OR academic community to more successfully apply for research funds, and thus fulfil ORS’s strategic charitable aim of advancing knowledge and education through fostering OR.
