- Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) Vulnerability & Policing Futures Research Centre, a joint venture between the University of Leeds and the University of York, launched an innovative new Translational Fellowship funding programme. The programme will offer non-academic practitioners and policymakers approximately £10,000 to undertake research with the Centre.
