ADR UK is made up of four national partnerships – ADR England, ADR Northern Ireland, ADR Scotland and ADR Wales.
Our partners each have a locally-based team with specialist skills and knowledge, while a central coordinating team - called the ADR UK Strategic Hub - is based within the Economic and Social Research Council. This structure allows each UK nation to have a dedicated trusted research environment (TRE) and develop expertise tailored to national priorities, while also being supported by UK-wide coordination, shared learning, and collaboration.
Each ADR UK partner works closely with researchers from universities and other research organisations, as well as government data owners and policymakers. Together, they support research that addresses key evidence gaps and informs policy and practice. This helps connect academia and government, ensuring that insights from administrative data research can be used to improve society.
