The document discusses updates related to HEIF (Higher Education Innovation Fund) funding. It provides details about the new DIUS (Department for Innovation, Universities, and Skills) department and its strategic objectives. It then summarizes the proposed formula for allocating HEIF4 funding, which will give less weight to university size and more to income from small/medium enterprises. Most institutions will see funding increases, with substantial increases for many. An evaluation of past HEIF funding rounds is also discussed.
