Several groups work together to deliver the UKPRP. The initiative is governed by the Funders Executive Group (FEG) which comprises representatives from each of the 12 funding partners. The FEG sets the strategic direction of the UKPRP; decides the final portfolio of awards in each funding round; agrees a process for monitoring all awards; and ensures the best use of the UKPRP funding.

The FEG takes advice from the following groups:
Scientific Advisory Board (SAB)
The SAB is comprised of independent, international experts across a range of academic disciplines and policy/practitioner sectors. It provides strategic and scientific oversight of the initiative, including on the configuration of researchers required for delivering the scientific objectives of the UKPRP. The SAB is also responsible for monitoring progress of the funded teams and the delivery of UKPRP’s objectives. The Board also advises the FEG on areas of investment to facilitate cross-working between the funded teams.
