Population Research UK Phase 1: Partnership Design & Dialogue

The purpose of this award is to develop the basis of Population Research UK which will transform the impact of the UK’s world-leading Longitudinal Population Studies (LPS). This proposal is for a nine-month ‘design and dialogue’ development programme delivered by HDR UK working in partnership with the longitudinal populational studies community and existing research data infrastructure providers. It will include work on a prototype portal to make consented datasets discoverable and accessible for a broad range of research and innovation users across academia, industry, public bodies, charities and the public. The project will include community engagement and be actively managed through a Programme Board mechanism with milestones and deliverables agreed with the funders.

The purpose of this award is to develop the basis of Population Research UK through a partnership design and dialogue programme.
