Flagship datasets
Covering ADR UK’s eight core strategic research themes – from environment and health to growing old – our flagship datasets have the potential to unlock considerable public good by helping to fill evidence gaps and address pressing policy needs.
ADR UK flagship datasets are of significant research value and we anticipate will have wide appeal to researchers. This is integral to our mission to enable research that has the potential to lead to better informed policy decisions and more effective public services.
The flagship datasets are findable in the ADR UK Data Catalogue and available for all accredited researchers to apply to access via one of ADR UK’s trusted research environments. They have approved legal gateways for research and are publicly documented. There is also available guidance for anyone producing documentation for ADR UK flagship datasets.
