The first grant was of 1.75 million over five years with the new grant announced in June of 1.25 million over three years, equivalent to a 200,000 or 19 per cent increase over the new funding period compared to the previous one. Core funding covers the bulk of the core costs of RISJ with additional income from externally funded fellowships and externally funded RISJ research and publishing activity. Such additional income has added an average of a further 70 per cent to the core Thomson Reuters funding in RISJ's first few years. 2.
