United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) is an organisation in the United Kingdom which exists to direct research funding. It was established formally by the Higher Education and Research Act 2017 and brings together the seven existing research councils, as well as Innovate UK and the Higher Education Funding Council for England one unified body.[1] The body was created following a report by Sir Paul Nurse, the President of the Royal Society, who recommended the merger in order to increase integrative, cross-disciplinary research.

The first president of the body is the immunologist Professor Sir Mark Walport.[2]
