Recommendation 12

12 Paragraph: 77

Implement stronger tests for software and statistical skills in research funding applications

Conclusion
Research funders should implement stronger tests for the presence of adequate software and statistical skills within research teams at the outset of a funding application. Where these skills are perceived to be lacking, UKRI should consider the feasibility and cost of offering a dedicated methodological support system to research teams.
