Applications for the Office for National Statistics (ONS) Research Excellence Awards are now open for 2024. Nominate your own or a colleague’s project by midnight on Friday 18 October 2024.
These awards provide an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the excellent work carried out using the data made securely available by the ONS. They promote achievements and best practice in research methods, impact, data preparation or supporting data access. They also help to improve awareness and understanding of data and the public good achieved from statistical research.
Among the award categories, the ADR UK Research Excellence Award, will recognise innovative and impactful research funded by ADR UK. This award is open to research carried out in any of ADR UK’s trusted research environments. ADR UK-funded research can also be nominated for any of the other award categories, if eligible.
Research from previous winners – some of whom include ADR UK-funded researchers – has informed a diverse range of key economic and societal issues. These range from inequalities in education, to the cost of living, to insights on new linked health datasets.
The judging process
The ONS has assembled an independent judging panel made up of experts from across the data and research communities who collectively assess the often insightful and innovative entries. Your research project, or a colleague’s project, could be among them!
This year, there are six award categories:
- Impact of Analysis Award
- Impact of Analysis - Collaboration with Government Award
- Secure Data Creation Award
- Organisational Excellence Award
- ADR UK Research Excellence Award
- People’s Choice.
Celebrating the winners
Winners will be celebrated by ONS and the research community during an online awards event. This will take place in the afternoon on 4 December 2024. More information on this event and how to sign up will be coming soon.
The ONS will further showcase the winners’ award-winning research through their regular user newsletters and the Research Excellence Series of webinars.
