Poverty
and Ethnicity.

Phase 2 consultation

In Autumn 2013, we will be commissioning a second phase of projects in our Poverty and Ethnicity programme.

The new research will focus primarily on quantitative research, particularly using the new Census and Understanding Society Datasets. Projects using other datasets and involving mixed methods will also be included where appropriate.

Before issuing the call for proposals we would like to gather views from people working in relevant areas in research, policy, practice and the voluntary/community sector.

A range of ideas have arisen from the first phase of projects in the programme and been suggested by stakeholders. However, there are also many other possible areas of work which would be potentially relevant for the programme.

We would be very grateful if you would take 5 minutes to complete the following questionnaire.
