Science and Engineering Research Council (Great Britain)
Science and Engineering Research Council records, 1956-1981.
Records relating to the funding and administration of grants for scientific research and higher education. Includes agendas, minutes and papers of the Science Research Council and the Science and Engineering Research Council; minutes and papers of the Research Grants Council; minutes, papers and correspondence of the Science Research Council's various committees; the original charter and seals of the Councils.
After the Dept. of Scientific and Industrial Research was abolished by the Science and Technology Act in 1965, responsibility for grants for university research and awards to post graduate 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 organizations. In 1981 the Council was renamed the Science and Engineering Research Council, which in April 1994 became the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.
