Funding to Address Modern Slavery Using Data Science Methods (UK)

Grants of up to £250,000 are available for research projects using data science methods to enhance understanding of modern slavery, and improve laws and policies designed to address it.

The funding is made available by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the Economic and Social Research Council, in partnership with Modern Slavery Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC), which expects to fund up to three projects run by UK universities or research organisations working collaboratively with third sector organisations.

Projects that explore new, evolving or emerging types of exploitation that are currently, or may in the future become, a significant challenge for UK policymakers (such as criminal exploitation of children, or online exploitation) are particularly encouraged.

The deadline for expressions of interest is 4pm on the 11th August 2022.
