The study team compiled a database of UKVN 1.0 projects in scope for the evaluation, containing project references, timeframe, grant value, and other information, as provided by UKVN 1.0 delivery partners: BBSRC, EPSRC, Innovate UK, NIHR CCF, and NIHR NETSCC. We noted that there was no harmonised monitoring and reporting system in place for all UKVN-funded projects, but delivery partners were tasked to implement a suitable monitoring process, often aligned with their standard reporting requirements.

The database created for the evaluation was populated with information from: (1) final project reports; (2) Researchfish; and (3) survey data.
