The annual grant letter to the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) for 2009-10 was published today 22 January 2009. I have placed a copy in the Library.
The Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) has published a list of projects funded by the Strategic Development Fund on its website at:
http://www.hefce.ac.uk/finance/fundinghe/sdf/
This information is not held in the form requested. Proposals to the Strategic Development Fund are developed iteratively between the HEIs and the Council's institutional teams, sometimes over a lengthy period. Projects that then come forward for funding have been thoroughly tested and hence are very rarely rejected. HEFCE's institutional teams have regular informal discussions with HEIs to discuss emerging proposals and many are turned back at that stage, and are not recorded.
