The Nuffield Foundation was established in 1943. The Foundation aims to achieve this by supporting work which will bring about improvements in society, and which is founded on careful reflection and informed by objective and reliable evidence. The Foundation looks to support projects that are imaginative and innovative, take a thoughtful and rigorous approach to problems, and have the potential to influence policy or practice. The Foundation also runs a number of grant programmes that are targeted towards specific purposes. Some provide support for scientists and social scientists at the early stages of their careers; others support particular kinds of projects or people. Finally, the Foundation sets up and runs projects of its own. Most of the grants made by the Foundation are for work in the UK. However the Trustees are keen to encourage projects that have a European dimension.
The Foundation currently has three grant programmes in areas of social policy. These are:
Access to Justice - promotes access to, and understanding of, the civil justice system.
Child Protection and Family Justice - helps to ensure that the legal and institutional framework is best adapted to meet the needs of children and families.
Older people and their families - promotes the autonomy and well-being of older people by developing policy and practice.
Grants range in size from £5000 to £150,000 and upwards and support research and/or innovative projects that will inform the development of policy or practice.
The Education Programme - supports exploratory work in specific priority areas.
The Commonwealth Programme - supports initiatives that develop the provision of education, health and social welfare in Southern and Eastern Africa through professional capacity-building.
The Open Door. - This supports projects of exceptional merit lying outside these policy areas but within the Foundation’s general terms of reference.
Social Science Small Grants Scheme - offering research expenses for new and established researchers working on outstanding projects. New Career Development Fellowships - fostering partnerships between experienced social researchers and outstanding new social scientists.
