Q: Why?

A: Following the Roberts' Report the Research Councils provide a skills training supplement (often known as 'Roberts' money') proportional to the number of early career grade staff they are supporting, and this is administered by OSD. There are further background details on the Research Councils "Career Development and Skills Training for Research Students and Researchers" site which starts at www.rcuk.ac.uk/rescareer/rcdu/training.htm. The Research Councils also require an annual report on this.
