Administrative Data Research Centre for England

Project overview

The Administrative Data Research Centre for England (ADRC-E) was led by the University of Southampton, in partnership with colleagues from the Bloomsbury group of the University of London and the Office for National Statistics. It was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council as part of the Administrative Data Research Network (ADRN). The centre had a distinctive interdisciplinary research programme, focused on methods development and policy-relevant research using linked administrative data from government departments. The centre ran an extensive training programme for researchers and hosted secure access facilities in Southampton, London and Titchfield.
