| Administrative/ biographical background | After the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research was abolished by the Science and Technology Act 1965, responsibility for grants for university research and awards to postgraduate students was assumed by the new Science Research Council. The Council's functions encompassed the support and encouragement of scientific research and education in universities and similar institutions, in its own establishments, and in collaboration with international organisations. In 1981, the Council was renamed the Science and Engineering Research Council, which in April 1994 became the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council. |
