Deadline: 6-Oct-25
The Nuffield Foundation has a new programme to support research on racial diversity within the UK.
This programme is funded by an endowment that supports work relating to the Commonwealth. This means their interest is in the future of UK society as shaped by its colonial past; specifically, by the migration of people from former British colonies to the UK, and the accompanying dynamics of racialisation, resources and power which have produced the UK’s distinct racial diversity and its patterns of racial discrimination and inequality. Within this context they take a broad view of racial diversity as covering all racial or ethnic groups living in the UK, including White populations.
The Racial Diversity UK programme aims to be broad in its reach, interested in questions of socio-economic equality, senses of place, belonging and identity, barriers to and opportunities for inclusion, demographic trajectories, and the interrelationship between these themes. Research may also address how the UK compares internationally. Race and ethnicity should be the central focus from which any intersectionality with class, disability, gender, place and other dynamics would be explored.
Funding Information
- Grants from £15,000 to £750,000 are available.
Eligibility Criteria
- They encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds, particularly from individuals and organisations from racially minoritised communities. They strongly encourage partnership applications which bring together researchers and racially minoritised communities to explore challenges and develop solutions.
