I think the research support fund in general is being spent very quickly at all universities, whether they are very small or very large. But the universities themselves are then kicking money back in to compensate for the loss. The cost of compliance alone has increased dramatically over the last 18 years. The funds haven't kept up.
What would we do with this? First of all, we'd continue to pay the hygiene factors of our needs. It would also allow us to expand the maintenance of our equipment. Other uses of the research support fund include space rental, library acquisitions, hiring staff to enable us to enhance our ability for compliance where there's legal or animal care and so on.
