ESRC calls for What Works projects to tackle poverty

The latest What Works initiative for systematic policy evaluation is open for proposals from UK researchers.

The project, What Works in Tackling Poverty, is a partnership between the Public Policy Institute for Wales and the Economic and Social Research Council, which is managing the grant process. It will constitute a number of research projects.

Applications for projects of up to £250,000 at full economic cost must be submitted by 24 April. The ESRC says it expects to fund three to five projects.
