19   BBSRC figures show estimated expenditure, by financial year, excluding studentships. Back

20   ESRC does not have figures for 1998-99 and 1999-2000 divided by country. Back

21   EPSRC data reports the total value of current grants on 1 January each year by region. As most grants last over several years this is greater than the annual EPSRC budget (the table reports funding commitments not expenditure). The figures for 1999 and 2000 do not include provision for postgraduate training as this funding was allocated by a different route prior to this. Back

22   PPARC data for 1998-99 studentships is not available, therefore the total figure is identified in italics. Back

23   AHRB can only provide data for a four year period. Back
