ADR UK and Ministry of Justice Data First Evaluation Fellowship

Funding opportunity from the ADR UK and Ministry of Justice Data First Evaluation Fellowship, co-funded by the Evaluation Accelerator Fund

Apply for funding to explore the feasibility of using administrative data to evaluate policy and practice interventions in the justice system.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for ESRC funding.

You will need to establish whether different policies and practices within the justice system are effective in delivering the intended outcomes of reducing reoffending, protecting the public and delivering swift access to justice.

Your project could focus on either of the following:

  • criminal justice
  • family law
  • civil law
  • court reform.

The full economic cost of your project can be up to £177,500. ESRC will fund 80% of the full economic cost.

This funding opportunity is linked to one of our Evaluation Accelerator Fund (EAF) projects, led by the MoJ and ESRC. For further information on the EAF and other funded projects, please refer to our guidance page here.
