We are now welcoming submissions for the Office for National Statistics (ONS) research fund. The purpose of the research grant is to support academic research into economic measurement. We intend to encourage and support scholars in the early stages of their academic career, so applications are invited from postdoctoral academics working in UK universities.
We will support applications for funding of up to £5,000 to enable research that supports the research areas below:
- Measuring the labour share of income, including consistency through time
- Measuring accounting prices, in line with Dasgupta’s review of the Economics of Biodiversity
- Evaluating the productivity story in different industries following revisions introduced in Blue Book 2021 (including double deflation)
Deadline for submissions is 31 March 2022, and the successful bid/bidders will be announced the week beginning 4 April 2022.
For more information on the research fund including eligibility, can be found via the ONS website.
