Established in 2024, the UK Metascience Unit is a small team of policymakers, analysts and funding delivery specialists who work across UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). The unit is co-led by Dr Jen Gold and Dr Ben Steyn. All our work starts from a simple idea: that the scientific method, so powerful in so many areas of life, should be systematically and routinely applied to how we practice, fund and support science itself. Budget: An initial budget of £10 million from 2024 to 2027 Duration: Ongoing Partners involved: UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT)
