ADR England

In the coming year, ADR UK will continue to support Research Fellows using ADR England flagship data. We look forward to the 2023 round of these researchers beginning their funded projects in early 2024. Meanwhile, as more fellows complete their projects, we hope to build on the impact work already begun by this year’s cohorts. This means supporting more fellows to share their research insights in innovative ways including by supporting the new PhD cohort with insights and training. By focusing on the potential for impact, we will create more opportunity for evidence from ADR England research to inform decisions that improve people’s lives.   

ADR UK will launch another round of Research Fellowships in 2024, continuing to promote our growing collection of ADR England flagship data. This will open a wider choice of policy-relevant research questions for fellows to explore, expanding the insights that arise from our data.   

Knowledge sharing and community-building will remain a core priority across the ADR England portfolio in the next year. In early 2024, the ADR England Research Community Catalysts are due to begin work developing self-sustaining research communities around key themes. ADR UK will continue to evaluate the pilot mentoring scheme for applicants, and will seek ways to enhance skills development and capacity building for research using ADR England data.   

2023-24 will also see the portfolio of ADR England research-ready data projects continuing to progress and produce outputs. Ultimately, they aim to expand the scope of the linked datasets offered by ADR England for public good research.
