Horizon Europe Awards
Due to ongoing delays in the formalisation of the UK’s association to Horizon Europe, UKRI has now released the terms and conditions to govern the administration of grants covered by the UKRI underwrite. The University of Cambridge is currently reviewing these terms, alongside other UK institutions to fully understand what is required.
If you have a project that is covered by the first wave of UKRI underwrite funding, please get in touch with the ROO EU and International Team (horizongrants@admin.cam.ac.uk) before you contact your project coordinator or register on a UKRI system.

New UKRI Open Access Policy From 1st April 2022
Changes to the UKRI open access policy come into effect from 1st April 2022, requiring immediate open access to journal articles funded by UKRI. This can be achieved either by publishing in a journal that offers immediate open access to their content (Gold route), or by publishing in a subscription journal and making the accepted manuscript immediately available in a repository (Green route). Researchers will need to take action before submitting a paper to a journal in order to ensure compliance with the new policy.
More information about the changes and what researchers need to do is available on the Open Access website.

Reminder - The Apprenticeship Levy
The Apprenticeship Levy is a tax on salary bills introduced in 2017. There are many funders who deem the Apprenticeship Levy cost ineligible when costing a project; this includes CRUK, Royal Society, Leverhulme, BHF and the BA.
For applications to these funders, you must manually set the NI rates file to the 5 April file for the current year in order to exclude the cost of the levy from the salary cost. A list of funders and full X5 instructions are available in the X5 user guide The Rates tab (sharepoint.com)
