The NGS is delighted to announce that the JISC have agreed to six-month funding extension. This will fund the NGS until 30 September 2011 and align it with the broader JISC services portfolio. The six-month extension will see the NGS laying the foundations of a new model of service.

Dr Neil Geddes, Director of the NGS, announced the news and added 'We are clearly delighted with this continuing support from JISC. We will be working closely with them through the Service Portfolio Review in early 2011 to help define the longer-term roadmap for the NGS service'.

Over the next year, there will be changes taking place at the NGS. The annual NGS user survey will help keep users involved and informed by gathering feedback on possible changes. The results of the user survey will be fed directly into the funding bid for NGS 4 so that it will reflect the wishes and needs of the NGS user community.
