	PPARC starts to identify its priorities (May 2000) - News - PhysicsWeb
		Astronomers and particle physicists in the UK have presented their funding agency, the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), with a long - and expensive - list of priorities for the next 10 to 20 years.
		With the top priorities budgeted to cost a total of £124m over the next three years, PPARC must either convince the government to increase its current budget of around £200m, or make some difficult decisions.
		At an event to launch the council's long-term science review earlier this week, chief executive Ian Halliday admitted that "PPARC will have a pretty rough year." The priorities have been identified by four panels that covered particle physics, particle astrophysics, astronomy and solar system science.

	PSP \| PPARC Evaluation of the National Awards Scheme for public engagement
		Therefore either PPARC needs to retain other activities to ensure that all the objectives are being met, or it needs to substantially amend the award schemes.
		PPARC intends to retain other activities such as press office work, training in media and more general communication skills, the “Frontiers” magazine and an annual meeting for those interested in science communication.
		PPARC should provide clearer guidance to applicants, possibly using a “commissioning” mode to specify particular outputs that are required or audiences to be targeted, leaving applicants to develop professional ways of providing these outputs using skills that are available amongst research groups and other specialist partners.
