Our Funders
The Centre has three core funders – the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), the Welsh Government and Cardiff University.
The Funders work with the Centre to agree its strategic direction and development, the content and timing of its core funded work programmes, and to monitor its output and impact.
What Works Network
