Nuffield Foundation: Grants for research, development and analysis - Justice

The Nuffield Foundation’s research, development and analysis portfolio is central to the delivery of our mission to advance educational opportunity and social well-being across the UK. We expect the work we fund to improve the design and operation of social policy, especially in those domains that we have always identified as underpinning a well-functioning society: Education, Welfare and Justice.

We seek to be an open, collaborative and engaged funder that offers more than money. We are not simply an academic funding body, though the research we fund must stand up to rigorous academic scrutiny. We want the policies and institutions that affect people’s well-being to be influenced by robust evidence, and we work with research, policy and practice communities to foster an environment where that is possible. We have two responsive application rounds a year for research, development and analysis projects. If you are interested in applying for funding, the first thing you should do is to read our Guide for applicants, which describes our funding priorities, explains our application process, and sets out our expectations for successful proposals.
