The U.K. government has released its plans for emulating the storied high-risk, high-reward U.S. funding agency, the Advanced Research Projects Agency. During the 2019 election campaign, the Conservative government promised to set up such an agency, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson's former adviser Dominic Cummings pushed for it. Now, it has a name: the Advanced Research & Invention Agency. The agency will sit within the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, but remain independent from the main research funding agency, UK Research and Innovation. Business secretary Kwasi Kwarteng announced last week it would be funded by an initial £800 million over 4 years and would begin to disburse grants by 2022.

英国政府已经发布了其计划，以模仿这个传奇的高风险，高回报的美国资助机构Advanced Research Projects Agency。在2019年大选期间，保守党政府答应成立这样一个机构，总理鲍里斯·约翰逊（Boris Johnson）的前顾问多米尼克·卡明斯（Dominic Cummings）对此予以推动。现在，它的名字叫：高级研究与发明局。该机构将设在商业，能源和工业战略部内，但仍独立于主要的研究资助机构英国研究与创新部。商业部长夸西·瓦滕（Kwasi Kwarteng）上周宣布，它将在4年内获得最初的8亿英镑资金，并将于2022年开始发放赠款。
