How we manage our portfolio and priorities

We gather evidence and consult our communities, including the ESRC Council, our Strategic Advisory Network and our Innovation Caucus to help us invest funding in the right places.

You can help shape our future funding areas by submitting a Big Idea to our pipeline of ambitious and transformational ideas. Your idea should address a major challenge or need for infrastructure or capacity-building at an appropriate scale.
