Some externally funded projects

The research carried out at Nuffield College is largely funded by the College's endowment and monies raised to support various specific short term research projects. Nuffield receives no direct block grant from any government. The College's financial independence means it has a high degree of autonomy rare amoungst social science institutions.
On this page we provide links to some of the webpages of current and recent externally funded research projects managed by Nuffield College academics. A more extensive view of the research carried out by Nuffield academics can be found from the College's Annual Reports and through the homepages of the individual academics.
