Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -UKRI is a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS). HM Treasury, which receives its money primarily through taxes, allocates funding to government departments, including BEIS, through Spending Reviews and Budgets.

Detailed explanation-2: -UKRI’s main purpose is to invest in and facilitate research and innovation activities across the United Kingdom, and, through Research England, directly support higher education providers in England to carry out research and knowledge exchange activities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Research Councils provide grants for specific projects and programmes, while the Higher Education Funding Bodies provide block grant funding to support the research infrastructure and enable institutions research of their choosing.
