The society argues that single-year grant cycles discourage ambitious, longer-term projects in fields where results accumulate slowly. Its submission to the ongoing spending review proposes a pilot scheme offering five-year awards to a small number of research groups. Funders have previously resisted longer settlements, citing the need to respond flexibly to changing priorities. The society says it expects a response as part of the wider spending review outcome, due later this year.
