ADR UK Research Fellowships 2025 (RF2025)

Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK) invites applicants to propose research projects that demonstrate the policy-impact potential of ADR England flagship datasets. This fellowship supports researchers at any career stage to conduct research and analysis demonstrating the policy impact potential of eligible ADR England flagship datasets. The program aims to achieve four key objectives: Useful Research (demonstrating the potential of administrative data research for public policy impact), Useful Data (developing flagship datasets as useful research resources), Useful Engagement (fostering opportunities to engage with government and the public), and Community Building (actively participating in communities of practice). Fellowships are up to 18 months in duration with awards up to £200,000. Projects must utilize ADR England flagship datasets and can include supplementary datasets to add value. The fellowship requires a maximum of 0.4 full-time equivalent during the initial three-month stage and a minimum of 0.6 full-time equivalent for the core 15-month research phase. ADR UK provides mentoring support to help researchers develop their skills in using administrative data for research that serves the public good.
