What Works Partnership in Crime Reduction

The ESRC and the College of Policing are inviting proposals for a Commissioned Partnership Programme in support of the What Works Centre for Crime Reduction.

Applications may be made for up to £3.28 million (at 100 per cent fEC) for a period of up to three years. The scheme is open to all staff at research organisations eligible for research council funding.

The aim of the centre is to provide synthesis, evaluation and communication of the evidence base in support of policy implementation in the crime reduction arena. The primary customers for the outputs of the centre will be decision-makers and practitioners, including Police and Crime Commissioners; using evidence to ensure the best outcomes of their work. The deadline for submission of full proposals was 16.00, 18 June 2013.

For full details please see the call specification.

The funding partners hosted a workshop for potential applicants on 20 May 2013 at the College of Policing Limited, Leamington Road, Ryton-on-Dunsmore, Coventry CV8 3EN. This provided an opportunity for potential bidders to learn more about the expectations of the funding partners, and to meet other organisations with interests in areas covered by this call for proposals.

Presentation slides and a Q&A documents from the event are available on the College of Policing website

Applications must be made via the Research Council Joint Electronic Submission System (Je-S). All applications must be costed and approved by the relevant institutional authority at the proposed host research organisation.
