Policy Support Fund: Awarded Projects 2024-25
More than 30 grants which enable Warwick research to influence and inform policy in a range of sectors have been awarded following a competitive internal funding call.
The Policy Support Fund, underpinned by a quality-related funding award to the University from Research England, will allow researchers to build new, and grow existing, collaborations with external organisations in the pursuit of policy impact.
The projects span all three faculties and will engage with a wide spectrum of partners to achieve policy change in areas such as health, transportation and AI.
