open letter to UK Research and Innovation
in the United Kingdom and elsewhere. In May, more than 300 postgraduate researchers in London signed a letter asking for increased support from the Medical Research Council , one of nine funding councils under the UKRI umbrella. “A lot of students across the UK are quite concerned,” says Emma Francis, a second-year PhD student in psychiatry at University College London , who co-wrote the May letter. “Many are in a dire situation right now.
In their open letter, Bhatnagar and his co-authors estimate that their demands would cost the UKRI an extra £44 million in the coming year. That would be approximately enough to raise stipends by 12% from the 2021–22 level for the 30,000 or so students currently supported by the UKRI.
Franklin and Francis reached out to the UCL administration before contacting the MRC. The university “was very supportive of us and behind us every step of the way”, Franklin says.The financial situation is especially bleak for students living and working in London, she adds.
