IGP celebrates major funding successes

Dr Christopher Harper
ESRC Research Grant (£676K) – Financial inclusion and prosperity in Palestine. 
This research grant will explore how current processes of financial inclusion can be transformed to create inclusive prosperity that reflects community priorities. Co-producing findings with community researchers, the project will examine the relationship between financial inclusion and prosperity in Palestine, where financial inclusion can be studied in 'real time’.

Dr Saffron Woodcraft (Part of the team led by Professor Lasana Harris, UCL)
Nuffield Foundation (£120,397) – Using administrative data to understand community well–being. 
This research will explore whether administrative data about behaviour, already gathered by local authorities, can be ethically used as a means of gaining additional insight into community well-being. IGP is one of six interdisciplinary project teams, grant funded by the BA/Nuffield Understanding Communities programme. 

Professor Jacqueline McGlade 
UK Government’s NEIRF (Natural Environment Innovation Readiness) Fund (£98K) – Essex Net Zero Innovation Futures.
Working with Essex City Council and partners on natural capital valuation, this research will explore the value of the environmental services across 30,000 hectares of Essex.
