The Network
The Administrative Data Research Network was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) in 2013, bringing together experts from all over the UK to organise an infrastructure that allows social researchers to use administrative data in a safe setting, with the proper security measures in place.
The project was funded for five years and came to an end on 31 July 2018.
The Network no longer takes applications.
Administrative data research will be taken forward in a new project, to be launched later in 2018. Please check out the ESRC website for the latest updates.
