CDRC

Description	Research within CDRC has demonstrated the capacity to influence, impact, and facilitate change for four key types of beneficiary. These are: local, national, and international governments and decision-makers; the wider public; commercial and retail organisations; and data users and researchers, both within academia and professional data workforces. CDRC has achieved instrumental and conceptual impact, as well as built capacity across the following impact domains: attitudinal change, capacity building, changes to behaviour and decision-making, environmental benefits and impacts to sustainability, economic impact, policy change, influence on health outcomes and wellbeing, and overall cultural change in the prevailing values, attitudes, and beliefs surrounding the significance of consumer data analysis. In 2022-23 in particular, CDRC's capacity for, and delivery of, impact increased rapidly. Along with this, both the reach and significance of the Centre's research has increased and deepened. Planned and completed engagement activities have taken place with the public and stakeholders at a national and international level through local and national press, reports, blogs, social media interactions, and academic outputs. Forging and strengthening our relationships with key stakeholders, for example as part of the Data Scientist Development Programme (DSDP, https://lida.leeds.ac.uk/data-scientist-development-programme/) , has enabled us to deepen the significance of our impact. One of CDRC's most significant and far-reaching pathways to impact has been through our collaboration with consumer champions, Which?. The project itself builds on strong retailer expertise from Co-I Professor Morris, who leads CDRC's collaboration with the Institute of Grocery Distribution (IGD, see below for further info), focusing on changing consumer behaviour through retailer-run in-store and online interventions. It is this strong, pre-existing network and corpus of research that grew CDRC's reputation for impactful and responsible research with consumers and retailers, and which allowed CDRC to bring to the collaboration with Which? a desire to effect meaningful real-world change. The outcome of this collaboration was an interactive tool, the Priority Places for Food Index (PPFI, https://priorityplacesforfood.which.co.uk/), which has become a meaningful tool for changes for both retailers and policymakers who hope to tackle food insecurity, particularly in a cost-of-living crisis. Launched late 2022, the PPFI, developed by Morris, Drs Pontin, Baudains, Ennis, and Which?, scores food security by bringing together datasets on food accessibility and sociodemographic barriers to accessing that food. Areas of roughly 650 households across the UK are then scored within 10 deciles of food security, demonstrating the disparities in food access below constituency level. Because of the way the tool reframes debates and accentuates policy demands, it has already begun transforming the practice, thinking, and capacity of policymakers supporting the communities hardest-hit by the cost-of-living crisis. As of March 2023, the PPFI has been visited online 6,649 times by 4,695 unique users, and targeted engagement activities have been led by CDRC with policymakers at city, county, regional, and national levels. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), specifically in London, Yorkshire and Humber, and the South East, have identified the Index as a new way of monitoring and evaluating policy implementation. The tool will be used alongside health dashboards across the UK to assess how food insecurity overlaps with health outcomes. The Scottish Government have also recognised the capacity of the Index as a decision-making tool, providing a series of policy questions to "ask" the Index to solve. It has also been used as a foundation for local responses to the National Food Strategy (NFS) at city- and county-level and their monitoring and evaluation. This means the tool has started to change thinking or capacity within public policy at local, regional, and national levels by targeting specific areas for effective and efficient public service provision. The framework for the Index builds upon Dr Andy Newing's innovative E-Food Desert Index (EFDI), deposited within CDRC Data Store, which captures data on proximity, density and accessibility of retail supply, neighbourhood socio-economic and demographic characteristics and e-commerce availability and propensity at a neighbourhood level to identify potential food deserts. The EFDI also has an accompanying technical 'user guide' and interactive visualisation via CDRC maps (with >5000 views to date), in order to make the data highly accessible to both researchers and the wider public. Baudains and Pontin used this framework and additional data in order to create the PPFI, with economists at Which? and Ennis ensured the data used is representative and most likely to serve a use, or create an impact, beyond academic communities. The PPFI, as well as its data sources and methodologies (https://data.cdrc.ac.uk/dataset/priority-places-food-index), have been made open access to ensure interested stakeholders and policymakers can continue to draw benefit from the work. This provides opportunity for non-academic researchers to learn from CDRC's process and to participate in ongoing refinement of the tool. CDRC has committed to updating the tool annually in autumn ahead of increased household costs due to heating in the winter months. The Centre has also committed to two further research projects through the DSDP, one focusing on health outcomes in priority places, and another focused on how to maximise food redistribution networks to ensure hardest-hit communities have access to food. These projects will enable us to make a more convincing argument for the impacts of food scarcity upon health, as well as evaluate how food insecurity can be limited within the food system, which will provide additional resource for policymakers to make targeted interventions. At a regional level, we have seen further policy change and impact through a collaboration (initiated in 2021) between CDRC and Leeds City Council (LCC), designed to help the Council achieve their sustainability goals. In 2021, LCC launched their 'Leeds By Example' campaign and also began to consult on a city-wide strategy that implemented some of the recommendations made by the National Food Strategy. However, they were struggling to identify the carbon footprint of their own Council-run catering subdivision. CDRC was able to provide the time and expertise of former Data Scientist Alexandra Dalton, who was then able to create a digital carbon footprint tool for the Council using school meals in just three months. This tool is being used by council members, Councillors, and decision-makers in the catering branch of the Council to make more sustainable procurement choices. This will in turn generate a local environmental impact. Dalton has presented the tool at LCC's Food Workshop, and will form part of the Leeds Food Strategy team with Morris. Dalton has also presented the tool to the Council's Climate Emergency Advisory Committee and the tool itself is now in beta testing with council members and Councillors. Dalton also led a series of public engagement and dissemination events with the Council, local schools, and other third sector partners such as local sustainability educational organisation, Rethink Food. CDRC was successful in bidding for additional public engagement funding through Leeds Social Sciences Institute (LSSI) as part of the Local Acceleration Fund submission. This provided us with additional resource to convert the carbon calculator tool into a game suitable for primary school children, which was used in Dalton's work in schools and which is publicly available online to help build awareness and drive behavioural change in pupils surrounding sustainability. These citizen-centred engagement events, enabled by Dalton's research and tool, will also enable local children to feed into the decision-making process surrounding food planning and procurement. The success of the digital tool has also built further capacity: a similar project was developed as part of the 2022/23 DSDP to help University of Leeds understand its own catering carbon footprint. Likewise, Data Scientist, Tom Albone, along with seven other Data Scientists on the DSDP working in the Healthy Choices, Mental Health, and Life Choices/Aspirations research areas, have provided valuable research feedback to public and policy makers about the ActEarly: Holme Wood projects and other Bradford-based data science projects applying the "Holme Wood process". Providing an overview of the data science process being used and its importance in the policy-making context has led to increased interest in the project from stakeholders, which is especially significant as Bradford Council continue to invest in data services and repositories. Furthermore, Dalton and Albone, working closely with Morris, used open data on Free School Meals to investigate food inequalities in Bradford. During the national controversy surrounding the provision of free school meals during the pandemic, their findings became the focus of a press release issued by Jo Pike, Labour's Parliamentary Candidate for Shipley Constituency, to Bradford's Telegraph and Argus newspaper. See below for how these ties with local Bradford council policymakers and community groups have been developed in 2022-23 with the launch of the Leeds Open Data Science for Schools project. The policy change effected by CDRC research has had an inevitable impact on the lives of the wider public. The most significant of these impacts have been on the health and wellbeing of the public. As with the LCC carbon footprint project, short-term projects led by CDRC have shown incredible capacity for answering urgent questions and addressing governmental demand for information using data science skills. These same skills were rapidly mobilised on a number of different projects designed to provide expertise to help solve national and local government challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2021 Covid Opensource Digital Twin project (CODiT), led by Dr Jeremy Large at University of Oxford, was supported by CDRC Research Data Scientist Dustin Foley and developed a codebase using agent-based methods to simulate the spread of an epidemic such as Covid-19 through a population. In 2020-22, we have seen a change in a variety of health outcomes effected by two CDRC DSDP projects, both of which fall broadly under our Urban Analytics research theme. The first project is the 2021 Local Data Spaces project (LDS), run in collaboration between the CDRC at both Leeds and Liverpool, the Joint Biosecurity Centre (JBC), the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Administrative Data Research UK (ADR UK). The six-month project engaged with 25 local authorities to better understand local priorities, contexts and research needs. From the meetings with local stakeholders, the huge variation in resources available for research and analytical capacity became clear. Using data from the ONS's Secured Research Service (SRS), the project team generated a series of reports, specific to each local area, investigating themes including demographic and ethnic inequalities in COVID-19, excess mortality, economic vulnerabilities and human mobility. These insights fed into Liverpool City Council's evaluation of the 'mass testing' pilot helping to refine the delivery of the programme and influencing the national roll-out of asymptomatic COVID-19 testing. Additionally, evidence of inequalities in testing uptake allowed Liverpool City Council to revise their strategy to tailor their outreach activities and data insights from project evidence were incorporated into oral presentations to Department of Health and Social Care, UK Government and Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE) on lessons learnt for shaping the national roll-out asymptomatic COVID-19 testing. Pivotally, the project won the ONS Research Excellence Award in 2021, which highlighted how the project brought health and economic data together in an accessible, digestible format for local authorities. The second DSDP project which has received considerable media and academic interest, as well as generated policy influence, used mobile phone data to assess the public's adherence to England's COVID-19 lockdown laws. Using mobility data provided by Cuebiq (now Spectus), the research team demonstrated the levels of adherence to lockdown policies between March 2020 and April 2021, with blog coverage focusing on the 2020 Christmas lockdown in England specifically. This research was published as 'Household visitation during the COVID-19 pandemic' in Scientific Reports in November 2021, and has since been picked up by over 110 news outlets across the globe (e.g. The India Express, The Times of India, Nature Asia), and posted about globally by Twitter users in Japan, United States, Italy and India, among others. The research gained particular momentum during the 2021 festive period and again in February 2022 when England removed all COVID-19 restrictions, and was presented as part of a Select Committee hearing. The research has also been used by Dr Raghib Ali, a clinical epidemiologist at the University of Cambridge and an honorary consultant in acute medicine at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust, to inform his work on public health. On March 2 2022, Ali testified to Parliament at a meeting/hearing of the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee (the full recording of which can be accessed here: https://www.parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/3ccd0195-b4d8-4e2d-a1a7-12265fda811d), during which he referred to the results of this research multiple times and from multiple angles. From this testimony, it can also be gleaned that the article was briefed to the Secretary of State for Education Nadhim Zahawi in mid-December 2021, ahead of the UK Cabinet meeting on 20th December 2021. It also highlights that Ali most likely played a quiet (but potentially influential) role in advising No.10 on the integrity of Covid-19 data on lockdowns throughout the pandemic: https://hansard.parliament.uk/Commons/2022-01-18/debates/AB251DCA-8088-485C-BF49-3999C4EE9AC5/details#contribution-34E21174-E6F4-4892-A4FC-BE0C65B2458B. Ali also referred to this research in a Guardian opinion piece published on January 28 2022, calling for an end to harsh restrictions but also for continued caution in the wake of COVID Omicron surges (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/jan/28/lift-plan-b-restrictions-england-vaccines-restrictions). The CDRC's use of population data to address key health concerns has enabled it to become integral to the COVID modelling being led by the Rapid Assistance in Modelling the Pandemic (RAMP) collective of researchers. RAMP, convened by the Royal Society, are a group of 70 independent researchers who aimed to assist pandemic modelling and to brief COVID-19 policymakers by mobilising effectively the UK's wider scientific modelling community. Professor Mark Birkin led the COVID-19 RAMP initiative workstream, connecting epidemic models to transport and urban analytics using CDRC and Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA) data and methodologies. Focusing on predictive analytics, the work conducted by RAMP played a vital role in understanding and imagining different exit strategies for national and devolved UK lockdowns. In 2022, the Royal Society convened a meeting to bring together key advances and outcomes from this two-year project designed to accelerate advances in both scientific and social modelling of pandemic diseases, specifically COVID-19. The meeting included keynote presentations, panel discussion and posters, with panel members including Sir Patrick Vallance as Chief Scientific Adviser to Government. Birkin has also contributed as section lead for urban analytics to the RAMP Rapid Review Group which provided rapid peer review for research papers prior to evaluation by SAGE, Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Modelling (SPI-M) and other policymaking groups. This has meant that important scientific findings and guidance have been made publicly available at rapid speed. Professor William Young has likewise provided an expert interview on how digitally enabled collaboration can support a sustainable and inclusive recovery from COVID-19 during a workshop led by Accenture, Axis & Innovate UK project. With more than 500 in attendance, composed of professional practitioners, policymakers and politicians, and industry and business representatives from around the UK, the CDRC takes prominence as a leading consultant in both COVID-19 rapid response and post-pandemic social and economic recovery. CDRC's impacts on the wider public is not limited to health and wellbeing impacts from COVID-19. In the 2021-22 cohort of DSDP projects, Professor Lovelace and Data Scientists James Hulse and Greta Timaite explored how OpenStreetMap (OSM) data can be used to support sustainable transport planning objectives, particularly in the wake of Department for Transport's £250m Active Travel Fund (ATF) and £2bn allocated to walking and cycling over the next 5 years in the UK alone. The aims of the project include generating new research and publications on additional uses of open data to support sustainable transport planning objectives, and the research team have engaged with stakeholders, students, and partners by inviting them to a workshop-by-foot in Leeds in which they corrected errors in real time in OSM data. The research team have presented the research internationally and the project itself has been shortlisted for a regional award through the Leeds Digital Festival. Morris's collaboration with IGD (see below for further information), impacts supermarket consumers by nudging them towards the Eatwell guide using in-store and online interventions. Our relationships with, and networks of retailers, allow us to improve health outcomes of consumers and the health of the planet through interventions targeting healthy and sustainable diets, but these networks also allow us to build capacity that has a wider reach for impact. We know that our DSDP and collaboration with IGD have been instrumental to changing how retailers operate, and this in turn has impacts on the lives of everyday people. Furthermore, our networks of retailers and our partnership with Which? have allowed us to impact the lives of the wider public during the cost-of-living crisis. Which? have used the PPFI in their #AffordableFoodForAll campaign, and the Index has provided leverage in conversations with retailers around provision of affordable food. Aldi has already agreed to follow Which?'s recommendations to increase food accessibility. Because of the focus we have on consumer data, impacts within the retail sector are wide-reaching. However, the reach of our impact in this domain has been strengthened through strategic partnerships that are the result of academically rigorous research that directly impacts the public. In May 2021, CDRC entered into collaboration with IGD. This partnership was partly in recognition of the work Co-I Morris and PhD student Dr Victoria Jenneson (now Research Fellow) had already accomplished with Sainsbury's, which used transaction data to better understand health and sustainable diets. However, this partnership also recognised the important work Morris and other CDRC researchers were already doing on the insight provided by retail transaction data. Under the IGD partnership, future in-store and online trials have been set up in collaboration with additional retail organisations, hoping to gain insight into healthy and sustainable living from store transaction data. As a result of our collaboration with industry, our retailer partners have made public commitments to lasting change. Sainsbury's have used our data analysis results of their The Great Big Fruit and Veg Challenge in 2021 to inform their "Help Everyone Eat Better" initiative (see: https://www.nutritioninsight.com/news/sainsburys-helps-shoppers-set-personalized-fruit-and-veg-intake-goals-with-nectar-app.html, https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/1444053/sainsburys-nectar-card-points-bonus-fruit-vegetables-healthy-eating-latest-uk and https://internetretailing.net/mobile/sainsburys-brings-back-mobile-gamification-to-drive-up-fruit-and-veg-sales-23248/). Moving away from "Live Well For Less" demonstrates a change in thinking towards the accessibility of healthy and sustainable diets. Extending the price incentivisation of fruit and vegetables also shows a change in practice. The capacity for these decisions was generated through our research analysis. Other work with Sainsbury's also demonstrated how their top-up coupons for the Healthy Start voucher scheme significantly increased the number of fruit and vegetable portions purchased per customer year on year. Our analysis revealed overall movement towards the Eatwell Guide by shoppers using the top-up coupons, which resulted in Sainsbury's now extending the scheme to Wales and Northern Ireland (see: https://www.about.sainsburys.co.uk/news/latest-news/2022/10-10-2022-sainsburys-could-help-feed-half-a-million-as-cost-of-living-rises). Additionally, under this collaboration, Morris's research has contributed to Sainsbury's ongoing health and sustainability strategies. Sainsbury's presence at COP26 included two talks ('Helping Everyone Eat Better' and 'Measuring What Matters') and a physical booth/stand which focused on the Eatwell Guide. The environmental and sustainable commitments Sainsbury's made as part of COP26 were made possible by understanding how their customers shopped and what could motivate them to shop differently. This CDRC research with Sainsbury's is recognised as part of their 'Helping Everyone Eat Better' work (https://www.about.sainsburys.co.uk/food-back-at-heart/helping-everyone-eat-better) and was also discussed by Sainsbury's at the 'What Works for diet shift' workshop hosted jointly by the Food Standards Agency and Behavioural Insights Team in February 2022. CDRC work with IGD was also presented at the same workshop, and is featured as part of IGD's report in the final quarter of 2021 (https://www.igd.com/articles/article-viewer/t/driving-change/i/29113) and the results of this research published as an online news piece (https://www.igd.com/articles/article-viewer/t/first-findings-in-series-of-retail-trials-show-a-78-uplift-in-promoted-fruit-and-veg-sales-when-prices-are-reduced-from-in-store-trials-at-sainsburys/i/29135). Through our IGD collaboration, we have also worked closely with Asda to analyse in-store vegan swaps. Analysing Asda's in-store intervention relocating plant-based options alongside meat, found that sales of these vegan options decreased. Despite the decrease in sales, Beth Fowler, Asda's Nutrition and Health Strategy Manager, noted that "it's important to share learnings with industry, NGOs and policy makers to build future research that adds value to all." This demonstrates the change in perception among industry stakeholders in order to build capacity. She added that, based on the learnings from this research, Asda will expand their vegan range by approximately 50% in 2023, improve the price position of meat-free choices, place meat-free options in dedicated extended meat-free fixtures in-stores, and work further to establish which behaviour change levers work best (see: https://www.igd.com/articles/article-viewer/t/healthy-sustainable-diets-driving-change/i/30157). This demonstrates a change in products availability to consumers following our research, and creates opportunity for future change in consumer diets. In fact, our work with Asda through the IGD collaboration allowed us to build a strong relationship with the organisation that has now resulted in a Master Collaboration Agreement (MCA) between the University of Leeds and Asda. This MCA abbreviates the sign-off process required to approve research projects and exchange data, which builds enormous research capacity for both the University and the business. This MCA has enabled us to co-design and co-produce research of value to Asda and the retail sector more widely. This has happened through co-hosted ideathons and hackathons, and collaborations on projects as part of the Data Scientist Development Programme. Through our DSDP, we have also built and deepened a significant relationship with Morrisons. CDRC alumni now form 10% of the data workforce at Morrisons, and Peter Laflin, Head of Data & Analytics, argues that CDRC's impact "comes by developing valuable skills in individuals and supporting them to join the workforce" but also by working on social problems "that will have a long-term impact on how we live as citizens." This highlights how our work with supermarket retailers grows capacity within the sector, and has the potential to impact the lives of everyday people through business decisions that impact consumers. Our collaborations with retailers have also allowed us to make significant interventions on organisational decision-making and governmental policy-making. Professor Susan Grant-Muller gave oral evidence to the House of Lords select committee on the Built Environment Inquiry on Public Transport in Towns and Cities in March 2022. The session was considering the use of data innovation and data sharing to improve connectivity. Furthermore, Morris and Jenneson have worked closely with Sainsbury's and other leading retailers as part of their work on nutrient profiling. In 2021, this work created the opportunity for Jenneson to be seconded to the National Food Strategy team (within Department for Environment Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA)), to model potential food taxation strategies to improve public health and dietary sustainability and to inform recommendations for NFS part 2 report. Both Morris and Jenneson have written responses to the second NFS report as part of a larger response from the N8 Agrifood Policy Hub. CDRC's Research and Impact Manager, Ennis, sits on this Policy Hub also, enabling us to participate in knowledge exchange and the sharing of expertise across the N8 university network and with its stakeholders and external partners. The interaction between the expertise of professional and support staff and the CDRC Leeds Co-Is has played an important role in the impact that has been effected for data users and researchers, both within and outside academia. While Co-Is on the grant are responsible for driving the research behind the real-world change CDRC has seen in researcher communities, this capacity building and upskilling would not have been possible without a cohort of experienced professional staff including CDRC's: Senior Operations Co-ordinator and DSDP Co-ordinator (Norman), Partnerships Development Manager (Mattiello, formerly Evans), Communications and Public Engagement Manager (Naisbitt), Research and Impact Manager (Ennis), the Research Data Scientist team (Baudains, Pontin, Foley), and Centre Manager (Mansell). This core operational team have been pivotal in opening up our routes to both engagement and impact and, in the case of the Research Data Scientist team, developing the research tools and derived data products that are now at the centre of core CDRC-Leeds research activity. The CDRC prides itself on its commitment to developing a workforce able to use data skills with confidence. This is in response to the national and global need for such skills, as highlighted in the UK Government's National Data Strategy. The CDRC has developed training schemes for Python, R, QGIS and data analysis skills and has upskilled thousands of data professionals across sectors via this short course training programme. Between March 2020 and March 2021, the CDRC was able to adapt to the coronavirus pandemic and to deliver its usual training virtually. As a result, we saw a total of 161 participants across 5 training sessions, focusing on Postgraduate Researchers and data science interns, in order to continue our commitment to training and upskilling the next generation of data researchers. In 2021-22, CDRC ran 7 training courses in total with 170 participants across these, including public sector employees from BBC, Friends of the Earth and NHS. In March 2022-23, CDRC delivered training to 202 delegates across 12 courses, including a bespoke R training course provided to York St John University in April 2022 with 30 online participants. In March 2022, CDRC's training courses were given full accreditation by CPD UK, which demonstrates the quality of our skills provision and provides us with a platform in future to reach a larger number of beneficiaries. Another core strand of our commitment to building capacity within the data science workforce is our DSDP. As of 2023, we have 72 alumni from this programme who have gone into industry or further study, building capacity in private sectors and the academic community alike. As previously noted, DSDP alumni form 10% of the data workforce at Morrisons. Moreover, as the Programme Manager of the DSDP, Norman has been a trailblazer in increasing access to data science for the hardest groups to reach. The Government's AI Roadmap recognises that data science in the UK is not representative, and they call on the sector to 'make diversity and inclusion a priority'. With this in mind, Norman has led on developing a series of positive action recruitment initiatives, the process of which began in May 2021. The result of this was an increase from 12% to 44% of Data Scientists who identify as coming from the Global Majority, as well as an increase to 44% of women Data Scientists on the programme in the 2021-22 cohort. In 2022-23, in partnership with ESRC's Vulnerability & Policing Futures Research Centre, Global Majority appointees on the DSDP have risen to 50% and women data scientist appointees to 50%. The impacts of this positive action recruitment work go beyond capacity building, though this is clear from the increased percentages of hard-to-reach groups within the DSDP cohort. Impacts from this work are also cultural, with the scheme receiving the University of Leeds EDI in Research Culture prize in 2022, which in turn led to a podcast and article with Norman and Morris to further share this work in December 2022. There are also attitudinal changes - with Norman having worked extensively to change how the University thinks of positive action recruitment alongside the Equality Act - as well as changes in awareness and policy, where Norman's "Strength in Diversity" case study has informed the EDI strategy at Leeds, as well as being used at the Universities of York and Sheffield to enact their own positive action recruitment. We have made commitments to sustaining the impact of this work by using the prize money from the Research Culture award to invest in the Open Data Science for Schools project, working with Keighley Schools Together network to promote data science in hard-to-reach communities, and by writing into ESRC funding bids roles for positive action recruitment for the next 5 years. Looking at the next destinations of many CDRC alumni gives some clarity on how far-reaching the data skills we develop are within different sectors. From the Centre for Doctoral Training in Data Analytics and Society (CDAS CDT) programme, we have seen researchers move into roles in Bradford Council, The Data City, and St John Ambulance, in addition to those who have moved into roles in academic research. From the DSDP, we have seen alumni move to East Suffolk Council, Connected Yorkshire, the ONS, Geolytix, FareShare, and The Dogs Trust, as well as those Data Scientists who have gone on to further study around the world, including at Leeds, Lancaster, UCL, Warwick, Bristol, Melbourne, and Auckland. This shows the diversity and multidisciplinarity of our alumni, and the success of both programmes. Our public engagement commitments and growth of new partnerships have provided expanded opportunities for engagement across sectors. We have built capacity by participating in Leeds Digital Festival annually, with a session led by new CDRC Co-Investigator Dr Aulona Ulqinaku in September 2021. This innovative tech event continues to provide capacity building for industry and public sector employees through upskilling and knowledge exchange. In 2022, Teaching Fellow Ryan Urquhart and Foley also developed a short-course introduction to coding for the Festival of Social Science. The LCC Carbon Calculator project also featured as part of the University's 2022 Be Curious festival aimed at children and their families. This was part of a suite of engagement events designed to meet the National Food Strategy's recommendation for an "Eat and Learn" initiative. Other events in this engagement strategy were funded through the Local Acceleration Fund, which allowed CDRC to turn the carbon calculator into an interactive game to be used in schools. Our capacity building also extends to the new ways in which CDRC has engaged strategically with larger stakeholder networks and the general public. In 2021, CDRC launched a LinkedIn page which has allowed us to share research and training opportunities to community and industry partners, as well as previous alumni. This has been beneficial in recruiting partners to our DSDP, and also enabled us to have record-breaking Conference sign-ups and attendance for CDRC's 2022 Conference: Inside Consumer Data, with over 190 conference registrations and 110 attendees on the day, including many of our project partners from retail and local government. Additionally, our partnerships grew and were strengthened throughout 2021 thanks to the Business Development Strategy launched in early 2021. Some of our key partnerships since then include: IGD, Leeds City Council, OHID, and Which?. We have also signed a master collaboration agreement with Asda, which is the first of its kind and has allowed us to work with the organisation on a range of different research projects. We have also been able to secure data sharing agreements with other key retailers as part of our strategic partnership with IGD. We have also extended our contract with Spectus to have further access to their data. As Spectus data formed the basis of the impactful research on COVID Christmas mobility patterns, we know this represents a substantial pathway to impact for CDRC. Through our Data Science and Society CDT, we have continued relationships with organisations such as TransUnion (formerly CallCredit), Myfood24, Leeds City Council, Improbable Worlds, Sainsbury's, Fuell (formerly Active Inspiration), CycleStreets.net, Arup, First Group, and Morelife and are continuing to seek further partnerships with transport organisations, nutrition organisations and a car rental organisation among others. Our partnerships through our Data Scientist Development Programme include Morrisons, Yorkshire Water, MOSL, Arup, REaD Group, and Leeds City Council, and have prospective relationships with data providers, councils and combined authorities, and research consortia. This points to our ongoing excellence in securing and sustaining important relationships with data providers and users and is a clear recognition of our strengths in ethical and responsible data stewardship. The awards, prizes, and recognition CDRC research has received speaks to our research excellence. 2022-23 was a record-breaking year for CDRC awards. In 2022, Co-Director Professor Ed Manley received the Philip Leverhulme Prize for Geography. CDRC as a whole received Research Culture prizes from the University of Leeds for our EDI approaches, and for our demonstration of Open Research and Impact. There were also 3 awards made by the University under the Engaged for Impact award scheme, with researchers and professional staff at CDRC receiving first place in the "Building partnerships and networks" and "Caring for the Future" categories, and second place in the "Finding a Better Way" category. Awards were judged by an external panel of impact experts. As a result of these awards, both Ennis and Birkin were invited to appear on the University's Research Culture podcast, and Norman and Morris were also featured as part of a University podcast on Improving Representation on the DSDP. Norman has also been invited to talk about positive action recruitment across the University, as an example of best practice. Our expertise as researchers has also been recognised through CDRC colleagues' appointments to advisory panels, in the public, private, and third sectors. Examples include Grant-Muller's attendance at the 1st Session of the UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Assembly, as well as her appointment to the VOI advisory board (2020), the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), and the Department for Transport Scientific Advisory Council, all in 2020; Birkin's participation in a consultation on Vulnerable Communities with Government Office for Science in 2021; as well as Morris's appointment as Advisor on the Food and Drink Sector Council Nutrition and Innovation Working Groups in 2020, and Jenneson's secondment to the National Food Strategy team (DEFRA). In 2022, former Co-I, Professor Alison Heppenstall was invited to be a Scientific Board member for the Turing AIUK annual conference (2022), was invited as a speaker at the International Spring School on Simulation (2022), and invited to be the keynote for European Social Simulation Association conference (2022). She was also appointed as scientific committee member for the International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems for 2021 and 2022 as well as having been invited to join scientific organising committee for the International Workshop on Geospatial simulation, which took place in Beijing, China in November 2021. Young was invited as the keynote speaker to Financial Times conference (2021), as well as appointed as Advisor to DEFRA (2021) and Advisor to United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP (2021)). Former Data Scientist Simon Leech was awarded the ONS Research Excellence Award in 2021 for his Local Data Spaces Project. In 2022, Morris's research projects with Sainsbury's and IGD were referenced and recognised at the 'What Works for diet shift' workshop hosted jointly by the Food Standards Agency and Behavioural Insights Team, at which were researchers within the industry and policymaking. Morris and Data Scientist Dalton were both invited to form part of Leeds City Council's local food strategy working group, and Dalton was also recognised for her research in 2022 and was personally invited to participate in The Alan Turing Institute's 'The Cabaret of Dangerous Ideas' (CoDI) and the Early Career Researchers' Net-Zero Retreat, to which Pontin was also invited. Following on from the CDRC's SPENSER project (a synthetic population estimation and projection model), evidence provided by Professor Nik Lomax to the National Infrastructure Assessment about the impact of transport and housing constraints on the growth potential of UK cities was used in recommendations which were partially endorsed by UK Government. In February 2021, Lomax and Dr Stephen Clark also used their research into consumer vulnerability to respond to the Competition and Markets Authority's (CMA) call for information on 'Algorithms, competition and consumer harm'. CDRC also provided insight to the UK Government on its Data Strategy and its consultation, 'Data: A New Direction'. As an organisation that prides itself on its responsible data stewardship and security, as well as its research excellence in data science for public good, we want to ensure that the recognition of our expertise informs perceptions around public data and informs public trust. Therefore, we see one of CDRC's central impacts as not only increasing capacity and preparedness within universities and research institutions, but also in creating attitudinal change within the general public that allows data science research to continue to happen for public good. We are likewise increasing industry confidence in data analysis, with a number of our external collaborations arising because we are able to provide ethical and secure data analysis on projects that benefit the public.

Description	Influence on UoL EDI Strategy: Positive Action recruitment policy 2022
Geographic Reach	Local/Municipal/Regional
Policy Influence Type	Contribution to new or improved professional practice
Impact	• This case study was successfully used by University of York in 2022 to enact their own positive action recruitment, and now represents a blueprint for how to do positive action effectively to level-up opportunities for underrepresented groups in recruitment to data science. • CDRC-Leeds's DSDP Co-ordinator, Kylie Norman, is an EDI Lead at the University of Leeds and spoke at the February 2023 Research Culture Carousel to an internal and external audience about the value of EDI allyship and how to carry out successful positive action recruitment. • Equitable recruitment practises within data science at CDRC-Leeds are part of a sustainable pipeline of EDI strategic activity, supported by CDRC-Leeds's suite of vision statements, in particular its Values Statement (see attached). EDI has been embedded as a strategic focus through appointments such as the DSDP academic advisory group EDI Chair, Dr Sajid Siraj. This appointment will enable CDRC-Leeds to further develop its approach to embedding EDI in its capacity building of early career data scientists. • CDRC-Leeds's work on positive action recruitment was recognised by the University of Leeds in June 2022 by being awarded the Research Culture EDI in Research prize which led to a podcast and article to further disseminate this work in December 2022. • The research prize from this award is funding a CDRC-Leeds project, Open Data Science for Schools, which is working with the Keighley Schools Together network in Bradford to widen participation from low income and protected characteristics years 8 & 9 students by inspiring them with data science careers, with the aim of encouraging them to stay in STEM education through GCSE into A Level. An outreach event is planned for May 2023, devised and delivered by CDRC data scientists, in partnership with Raspberry Pi's Code Club and local stakeholders such as Bradford City Council's Alliance for Life Chances. * DSDP Programme Co-ordinator Kylie Norman was invited to speak at the University Research Culuture Carousel alongside the Dean and Directors for EDI about the value of positive action recruitment as a tool for increasing equity in recruitment.

Description	Upskilling a diverse data workforce through the Open Data Science Bursary
Geographic Reach	National
Policy Influence Type	Contribution to new or improved professional practice
Impact	We know from the data we analyse, as well as the cohorts of data scientists we upskill, that there is a lack of diversity and representation in data science. For this reason, the UK's AI Roadmap calls for those working in data to "Make diversity and inclusion a priority. We suggest benchmarking and forensically tracking levels of diversity to make data-led decisions about where to invest and ensure that underrepresented groups are given equal opportunity and included in all programs." As part of our goal to make data science more inclusive and equitable, we introduced this bursary to target the data scientists (or people interested in becoming data scientists/career changers) who are hardest to reach. So far, 11 students have redeemed the bursary funds to cover their course fees, and this is the maximum available with our current budget. We are currently exploring how to include the same budget in future years to continue to make this opportunity available.

The tool requires an upload of a menu with ingredient breakdown. Using the recipe upload, the tool uses a carbon footprint lookup created using open data, to generate UK based estimated for the carbon footprint of the ingredients in the meal along with an aggregated value for each meal. The dashboard was created using Rshiny apps and is available as a webpage, provided to Leeds City Council members and catering staff. The prototype version has been developed to evaluate school meals in Leeds, as a follow up analysis of the recent 'climate friendly' menus introduced across the city.

Impact	The Carbon Footprint Calculator has been developed to support decision making as part of the Leeds Climate Strategy and to help achieve their Net Zero targets, by reducing the greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the Leeds food system. The development of this prototype tool has enabled conversations with and presentations to policy makers and social impact organisations in Leeds, sparking further application of the tool and engagement work. The development of this tool has also resulted in us running school engagement workshops with primary schools in Leeds, to extend the benefits and learnings from the tool to school children. Insights from the tool are being used to shape the type of data requested in future food contracting/supplier choice by the council. The insights are also being used to inform and re-design the school meals setting and meals that are on offer. The prototype has been trialled and feedback has been obtained as to the tool's current usability. This feedback has now been used to refine a final version of the CDRC Carbon Footprint Calculator and develop strategies to reduce Leeds' carbon footprint, future-proofed for application to be explored beyond school meals.

Title	CoSMoNorth: Comprehensive Spatial Model of the North
Description	The research outputs are i) the calibrated baseline agent base simulation model for the Northern Powerhouse region using tools that aid modelling in MATSim (Arup developed and otherwise) and support from City Modelling Lab at Arup and ii) the scripts to extract/handle data, apply the tools and regenerate the model. The data used for this model cover datasets from National Travel Survey, 2002-2020: Special Licence Access (i.e. households, persons and trips datasets), projected household and person datasets using SPENSER, Census, OSM, GTFS etc. One reason behind the construction of a large-scale transport model of the North is to apply the model to implement and address policy, societal and economic changes/plans happening in the North due to the government's Northern Powerhouse vision. Another purpose of the project stems from the need to have a baseline consolidated modelling framework for spatial simulation research applications at LIDA and University of Leeds.

Description	AirDNA - expanded agreement
Organisation	AirDNA
Country	Spain
Sector	Private
PI Contribution	Having initially tested feasibility via developing and agreeing a series of potential applicable research questions, we successfully negotiated a two-year subscription to AirDNA's UK-wide property performance data. This represented a considerable improvement on and update to the data behind our original agreement with AirDNA agreement, which had covered London and Leeds alone and represented activity no later than the end of 2018.
Collaborator Contribution	AirDNA's responsibilities under the new agreement chiefly lie in ensuring monthly deliveries of data. As a result of AirDNA's more recent corporate shift to a subscription model, the CDRC also now benefits from a dedicated account manager; ensuring researcher or administrator queries on data quality can be resolved in a timelier manner.

PI Contribution	Various ONS departments are interested in novel data sources which could support the production of small-area population statistics. As part of methodological decisions around future censuses, ONS have a number of active projects seeking to assess the feasibility of administrative and commercial data sources in capturing population and household statistics. Andy Newing (School of Geography), Jacob Van Alwon and Owen Hibbert (both LIDA DSDP) have explored the potential of dwelling-level water metering data to: 1. Assess the quality of dwelling-level water metering data supplied by an external data provider (a UK water supplier) and develop processes for data clearning and leak detection. 2. Assess the ethical and privacy concerns associated with working with these data at the dwelling and aggregate level and identify the appropriate temporal resolution for analysis. 3. Develop methodoloical approaches to determine characteristics of dwelling occupancy from these data - specifically to identify periods when a given dwelling is occupied/vacant. 4. Consider the extent to which these approaches could be used to classify properties according to their occupancy status and therefore to identify unoccupied properties, or those that may be associated with tourism. 5. To report on the potential future value of these data as a tool to capture small area tourism statistics and indicators of neighbourhood type/change.
Collaborator Contribution	Alongside the project team, ONS co-organised a Methodological Workshop to bring the project team together with a range of stakeholders within ONS, representing different teams/business functions. The workshop enabled detailed dialogue between the project team and methodological/domain experts at ONS, enabling us to: - Optimise some data cleaning processes based on ONS expertise and experience - Understand ONS' specific interests within this work and to adapt approach/outputs accordingly, thus maximising impact - Enter into ongoing dialogue with specific teams to further shape this and follow on work. Four further follow up meetings have taken place with specific individuals/teams and a publication (outlined below) has resulted from this work.

Description	DSDP: Approved Intent to Collaborate: Electronic/Online Word of Mouth (EWOM) DSDP in Collaboration with Morrisons
Organisation	Morrison Supermarkets plc
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Private
PI Contribution	Via the Data Scientist Development Programme (DSDP), the aim of the research is to investigate how resource scarcity influences grocery consumers' EWOM (Electronic/Online Word of Mouth) and how the effects of resource scarcity evolve over time. The research is investigating how comsumers react to resource scarcity via online word of mouth (twitter). Generally speaking, consumers EWOM swings between scarcity-reduction response (e.g., asking for a cheaper product option) and control-restoration response (e.g., showing more lenience towards vulnerable others, or consuming high-calorie food) over time.  The academics will develop a programming function that the business partner can use to monitor the sentiment of consumers' EWOM on Twitter. Monitoring sentiment of consumers' EWOM on Twitter is important for businesses, as twitter sentiment is strongly associated with stock returns. They will also provide insights into dynamic change of consumers' response to resource scarcity, which helps the business partner to anticipate consumers' needs under scarcity and get prepared to meet consumers' needs.
Collaborator Contribution	Besides the data that we can collect, we also welcome partner/collaborator to provide matching datasets covering: 1. Data containing store geolocation and in-store foodbank donations at each location. This dataset can be used to study consumers' pro-social behavior (a type of control-restoration response) under scarcity. 2. Weekly cost of baskets and similar data that show the weekly change of product price, for example, weekly change of food price. This data can possibly work together with Twitter data to provide insights into customers' sentiment under scarcity.
Impact	Outputs from this research project include: 1. 4*/3* academic journal publications. 2. Conference paper and conference presentations at major conferences in marketing and data science. 3. A report of data-analysis results and implication to the businesses partner. The data scientist will lead the writing of this report. 4. A monitoring system (this might be a series of R programmes) on consumer sentiment, useful for businesses and policymakers to monitor consumer concern and wellbeing. We expect to have these research impact activities: - A network activity (a seminar, for example) with the business partner, policymakers and charities to disseminate the research findings and discuss the implication that helps the community mitigate the cost-of-living crisis.

Description	DSDP: Approved Intent to Collaborate: Perceptions of COVID Safety Measures in Guest Reviews from AirDNA Data
Organisation	AirDNA
Country	Spain
Sector	Private
PI Contribution	The landscape of the hospitality and tourism sectors changed drastically throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. As lockdowns were lifted, accommodation hosts contended with continuously evolving health and safety guidance. For Airbnb properties in particular, often hosted by non-professionals, guests couldn't expect consistency for thoroughness of compliance. Using AirDNA data previously acquired by CDRC, this work will examine Airbnb hosts' ability to meet guests' health expectations, based on perceptions derived from reviews. In contrast with publicly available Inside Airbnb data, the AirDNA data includes actual booking dates and revenue. Unsupervised segmentation of hosts and properties into categories will be performed, using features including hosts' status, time on platform, response metrics, revenue, listing type, booking cost, and maximum guests. Concurrently, reviews concerned with COVID-19 and topics around cleanliness will be identified, using fuzzy text matching or topic modelling. Sentiment analysis on this review subset will assess the performance of hosts/properties. Relationships between these sentiments and the host and property segmentation will be analysed. The data scientist can achieve quick wins with summary statistics for this recently acquired data, particularly regarding guest-written reviews of properties. They will get the opportunity to learn and apply knowledge of unsupervised classification methods and natural language processing techniques.
Collaborator Contribution	This projects uses already paid for AirDNA data, so we don't expect them to contribute further data per se. Our expectation is that if the DSDP participant ecounters any issues with the data, then a knowledgeable point of contact at AirDNA could potentially answer their questions more quickly and directly than a project supervisor could. Also, our plan is to check in with them monthly to present our progress, which provides the project with informal goalposts, and is an opportunity for AirDNA to potentially guide the course of the project if they have any insights to share. For example, if an intriguing pattern has emerged in the data, AirDNA could potentially identify it as an artefact of data collection that should be ignored, or alternatively confirm that it's of great interest to them.
Impact	The academics would expect to produce an academic paper, a derived dataset composed of categorisations of hosts/properties, and potentially a map or visualisation tool that shows geographic spread of types of properties (including properties that fared well/poorly against expectations of COVID-related health safeguards).

Description	Research project to use high temporal resolution water metering data to better understand tourism trends in the South West of England.
Organisation	South West Water Ltd
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Private
PI Contribution	My part of this project was concerned with using dwelling level high temporal resolution water consumption data to gain a better understanding of tourism trends in the South West of England. We had a sample of 61 properties, 4 of which were known to be tourist properties. Using this dwelling level high temporal water consumption data we: - Developed some data cleaning methods, for example, for leak detection. - Developed a method to infer when tourist properties were occupied with a high degree of accuracy. - Investigated a range of features which could be extracted from the data to distinguish between tourist and residential properties. These features were used with unsupervised clustering methods and we were able to group tourist and residential properties together with 100% accuracy.
Collaborator Contribution	South West Water provided the high-temporal resolution water consumption data for the project, as well as advice and support on interpreting the data. University of Plymouth's part of the project is concerned with water consumption data at the district metering area (DMA) level, rather than at the individual dwelling level, with each DMA covering approximately 1000 properties.
Impact	We have presented our findings to representatives from the Office for National Statistics, who are interested in this work as it may be able supplement census data with more regular data on population statistics. Plans have been made for further research as part of the collaboration in 2022. Disciplines involved: - Data Science - Geography - Hydraulic Engineering

Description	Which? Collaboration - Priority Places for Food Index
Organisation	Which?
Country	United Kingdom
Sector	Private
PI Contribution	The CDRC worked in partnership with Which? to develop the Priority Places for Food Index - a place based tool to identify neighbourhoods in the UK most at risk of food insecurity to enable retailers and policy makers to target interventions to benefit those most at risk. CDRC lead the development of the tool and completed all technical activity. Collectively we ran a large scale communications campaign to launch the tool and the associated 'Affordable food for All campaign.
Collaborator Contribution	Which? provided advice and guidance on the tool from a consumer rights perspective. They also provided qualitative data and additonal analysis to contextualise some of the insights.
Impact	The project itself builds on strong retailer expertise from Co-I Professor Morris, who leads CDRC's collaboration with the Institute of Grocery Distribution (IGD, see below for further info), focusing on changing consumer behaviour through retailer-run in-store and online interventions. It is this strong, pre-existing network and corpus of research that grew CDRC's reputation for impactful and responsible research with consumers and retailers, and which allowed CDRC to bring to the collaboration with Which? a desire to effect meaningful real-world change. The outcome of this collaboration was an interactive tool, the Priority Places for Food Index (PPFI, https://priorityplacesforfood.which.co.uk/), which has become a meaningful tool for changes for both retailers and policymakers who hope to tackle food insecurity, particularly in a cost-of-living crisis. Launched late 2022, the PPFI, developed by Morris, Drs Pontin, Baudains, Ennis, and Which?, scores food security by bringing together datasets on food accessibility and sociodemographic barriers to accessing that food. Areas of roughly 650 households across the UK are then scored within 10 deciles of food security, demonstrating the disparities in food access below constituency level. Because of the way the tool reframes debates and accentuates policy demands, it has already begun transforming the practice, thinking, and capacity of policymakers supporting the communities hardest-hit by the cost-of-living crisis. As of March 2023, the PPFI has been visited online 6,649 times by 4,695 unique users, and targeted engagement activities have been led by CDRC with policymakers at city, county, regional, and national levels. The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID), specifically in London, Yorkshire and Humber, and the South East, have identified the Index as a new way of monitoring and evaluating policy implementation. The tool will be used alongside health dashboards across the UK to assess how food insecurity overlaps with health outcomes. The Scottish Government have also recognised the capacity of the Index as a decision-making tool, providing a series of policy questions to "ask" the Index to solve. It has also been used as a foundation for local responses to the National Food Strategy (NFS) at city- and county-level and their monitoring and evaluation. This means the tool has started to change thinking or capacity within public policy at local, regional, and national levels by targeting specific areas for effective and efficient public service provision.

The four University of Leeds/CDRC researchers were given the opportunity update the audience on the methods or results of our analysis regarding the effect of interventions run by food retailers. Some projects are aimed to determine whether interventions shifted a particular customer group's food purchasing patterns towards the Eatwell Guide. The projects received funding from the IGD who hope to publish the results of our analyses (whether the trial was successful or not) soon. For a brief portion of the meeting, a retail partner joined us to discuss partnership, collaboration, their intervention, and other related matters. Plenty of discussion was brought up regarding the nature, methods, and context of IGD trials. The University of Leeds/LIDA/CDRC team consisted of myself, Madeleine Thomas (undergraduate researcher), Alexandra Dalton (data scientist), Dr Francesca Pontin (data scientist), Emily Ennis (Research and Impact Manager), Dr Michelle Morris (Associate Professor and my project supervisor), Prof William Young (Chair of Sustainability and Business and my project supervisor), and Prof Mark Birkin (CDRC PI and co-director of LIDA).

Results and Impact	The Open Data Science for Schools (LODSS) is a 6-month project, running from Feb-July 2023, to utilise £3k funding provided by the University's Research Culture team to widen participation in the Data Scientist Development Programme (DSDP). This project is working with the Keighley Schools Together Network (KSTN) through outreach visits to schools from our data scientists (April-May 2023) to introduce careers working with data as potential careers for all. We will then invite engagement visits from students into LIDA to inspire them about careers working with data (June-July 2023). Keighley is an area of high diversity, deprivation and food insecurity, and its schools are located in low-aspiration, lack-of-positive-role-model neighbourhoods. We believe strongly in co-production for successful collaborations, so we will work with the Keighley Schools Together Network to co-produce our outreach visits around the theme of data and the food environment. We will target yrs 8 & 9 students, so that we can encourage underrepresented groups and those from low income households in particular to think about pursuing STEM subjects into and beyond GCSE and further education, with a view to obtaining careers working with data.

Results and Impact	CDRC Co-I Aulona Ulqinaku delivered the talk, Brand communications: the fresh air that psychologically and financially distressed consumers may be looking for, to participants of the 2021 Leeds Digital Festival online. Drawing on Dr Aulona Ulqinaku's research, this event will look at digital brand communications, particularly in relation to the impact of different approaches on consumers facing different levels of psychological and financial distress, such as the ones facing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The right communication approach at the right time can mitigate negative consequences for the millions of people forced to practice social distancing with subsequent feelings of being isolated, as well as people experiencing financial constraints in their lives that affect their wellbeing and behaviors. Whether you're a new business or have been around for centuries, Aulona will discuss ways in which digital brand communications can best address the psychological and financial consequences, typical during this crisis, leading to win-win communications and outcomes for both companies and consumers.

Results and Impact	LinkedIn Sales Navigator is a tool which allows you to create engagement activities which can't be done via the standard LinkedIn platform. Sales Navigator allows you to: 1. Contact thousands of decision makers (individually) and filter down to location, job title ,company name/industry and organisation headcount. 2. The platforms provides (on request) reports of user engagement and statistics of responses. 3. The tool also shares information about organisations you're interested in including news, posts, new recruits and job changes. Using this platform I've managed to contact many people/organisations with a response rate of 10% (this fluctuates). This enables me to search for new potential CDRC research collaborations/partnerships for different service lines including short proof of concept projects, longer PhD projects, education and training, Impacts Include: - New research collaboration with Vegan Society - We are now in conversation with Leeds Mind and Mind in Bradford, a leading mental health charity - It has enabled us to create a marketing strategy to increase awareness of our data science training offer, which will be carried out in late February 2023. - The outcomes of any ongoing research collaborations which began with this platform.

Results and Impact	• CDRC-Leeds has trained 72 early career data scientists through its Data Scientist Development Programme (DSDP) 2016-2023. Only 12% of the data scientists 2016-2021 identified as being from the Global Majority, so the Programme worked with HDR UK in 2021 to instate positive action recruitment to address this underrepresentation. The team at CDRC-Leeds responded to the University's call-to-action in its newly-launched 2022 EDI Strategy by disseminating its approach to positive action recruitment in the Case Study, "Strength in Diversity". This has resulted in policy impact through positive action recruitment becoming one of 6 new work streams in the University's EDI strategy. This case study lays out the value of positive action recruitment in signalling the intent to create more equitable recruitment through expanding reach and relatability of roles traditionally majority-filled by white men. It has since been used to enact a positive action recruitment case at Universities of York and Sheffield (2022 and 2023).
