About ADSoP
Based at the Manchester Metropolitan University (MMU), the ADSoP community hub focuses on fostering collaboration among researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders to drive policy-relevant research to inform and improve public services.
Some of the key goals of ADSoP include:
- Collaboration: The hub brings together researchers from various disciplines to work on projects that use administrative data. This interdisciplinary approach helps generate comprehensive insights and solutions to complex policy issues.
- Stakeholder Engagement: By involving stakeholders such as government agencies, non-profits, and community organizations, the hub ensures that research is grounded in real-world needs and perspectives. This engagement helps shape the research agenda and ensures that findings are relevant and actionable.
- Capacity Building: The hub aims to build capacity among researchers by providing training and resources on how to effectively use administrative data. This includes workshops, seminars, and networking opportunities to share best practices and innovative methodologies.
- Impactful Research: The hub focuses on producing research that has a direct impact on public policy. By addressing pressing social issues and providing evidence-based recommendations, the hub aims to contribute to better-informed policy decisions and more effective public services.
