The Nuffield Foundation has set aside an additional £20 million to fund R&D projects up until 2022, increasing its funding pot to £70m.
According to its strategy report, published on 29 June, the foundation will focus on research in three areas: education, welfare and social justice.
Priority will be given to research that spans the three areas, such as the impact of digital technologies on people’s lives, social inclusion, social geography, chronic illness, and the effect of physical and mental disability.
