It took over the responsibilities of the Arts and Humanities Research Board. On that date all of the AHRB’s activities, assets and liabilities transferred to the AHRC. The AHRC is a non-departmental public body (NDPB) sponsored by the Office of Science and Innovation (OSI), which is part of the Department for Trade and Industry, along with the other seven research councils. It is governed by its Council, which is responsible for the overall strategic direction of the organisation. The Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) aims to: • Support and promote high quality and innovative research in the arts and humanities • Support, through programmes in the arts and humanities, the development of skilled people for academic, professional and other employment • Promote awareness of the importance of arts and humanities research and its role in understanding ourselves, our society, our past and future, and the world in which we live • Ensure that the knowledge and understanding generated by arts and humanities research is widely disseminated for the economic, social and cultural benefit of the UK and beyond • Contribute to the shaping of national policy in relation to the arts and humanities. These aims reflect the objectives which are enshrined in our charter – see www.ahrc.ac.uk/ahrb/website/images/4_96187.pdf 1 Contents Chairman's Statement 3 Chief Executive's Statement 4 Management Commentary 5 Activities 6 Research 10 Postgraduate Programmes 16 Knowledge Transfer 22 Science in Society 28 International Affairs 34 AHR Corporate Activities 36 AHRC Structure 41 C AHRC Organisational Plan and Structure 42 Co Council Members 43 n te AHRC's Committees 44 n Research Peer Review Panels 46 ts Postgraduate Peer Review Panels 48 Remuneration Report 49 Accounts 53 Statement of Council's and Chief Executive's Responsibilities 54 Accounting Officer's Statement on Internal Control 54 The Certificate and Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General to the House of Commons 56 Income and Expenditure Account and Statement of Recognised Gains and Losses 57 Balance Sheet 58 Cash Flow Statement 59 Notes to the Accounts 60 2 Appendices 69 Appendix 1 Research programme: applications and awards 2005 - 2006 by subject area 70 Appendix 2 Research Programme: applications and awards 2005 - 2006 — England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 71 Appendix 3 Research programme: location of applicants and awardholders 2005 - 2006 Responsive Mode 73 Appendix 3 Research programme: location of applicants and awardholders 2005 - 2006 Strategic Initiatives 77 Appendix 4 Postgraduate programme: applications and awards 2005 - 2006 by subject area 81 Appendix 5 Postgraduate Competition 2005 – Distribution of Applicants and Awards by Institution 82 Appendix 6 Collaborative Postgraduate Schemes 87 Appendix 7 Results of the 2005 doctoral submission rate survey 88 Appendix 8 Collaborative Doctoral Awards 2006 91 Appendix 9 Support for Higher Education Museums, Galleries and Collections 92 Appendix 10 Project Funding for Museums, Galleries and Collections 2005 93 Appendix 11 What our awards deliver 94 3 Chairman’s Statement n this occasion may I employ of the most enduring human problems, the prerogative of being a cultural differences.
