Category: Funding opportunities
15 November 2024
DARE UK (Data and Analytics Research Environments UK) has launched a new funding opportunity to support trusted research environments in adopting capabilities from its transformational programmes.
DARE UK's transformational programmes - part of Phase 2 of the DARE UK programme - aim to build new capabilities to support sensitive data research across the UK. These capabilities include federated analysis, AI and semi-automated output checking, and trusted research environment reference architecture and implementations. DARE UK will support the testing and adoption of these capabilities, and demonstrate real-world scientific impact using them.
During Phase 2, DARE UK will continue to offer funding opportunities - including potential funding to support further adoption of these capabilities. ADR UK and Health Data Research UK are continuing to oversee the management and delivery of the programme.
