Written answers

Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science

There are a number of initiatives administered through competitive call processes by the HEA on behalf of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science funded through the National Training Fund where not for profit/private institutions are eligible to apply. These are Springboard+, which has been running on an annual basis since 2011, the Human Capital Initiative Pillar 1 which commenced in 2020 and the July Stimulus Modular and part and full time taught postgraduate places programme in 2020. The tables and text attached, as provided by the HEA, outline the funding associated for the delivery of free and subsidised places under these initiatives.

Seperately my Department provides funding to institutions outside the remit of the HEA. Funding provided in the period 2014 to 2020 is outlined in the attached table.
