Summary

Grants will advance educational opportunity and social well-being across the UK and will improve the design and operation of social policy, especially in education, welfare and justice.

They prioritise rigorous and impartial research, development, and analysis projects that:

  • identify and explain the social and economic determinants of early childhood adversity, transitions from adolescence to young adulthood, and social and economic well-being in adulthood and later life
  • improve well-being for society as a whole, while ameliorating negative distributional outcomes and the greatest harms
  • support the development of workable evidence-based solutions for policy and practice over the medium term.
