We also support the development and progression of young scientists and social scientists. Our current focus is on primary education, secondary education transitions, and science and mathematics education. This includes projects relating to speech and language impairments and interventions to address them across all age groups. We are also interested in Early Years Education and Childcare, for which we have a separate programme.
In recent years, we have also funded projects on student parents and women's education. We support research and its translation into policy and practice. We have also developed resources and approaches that exemplify effective educational practice. Through our Nuffield Research Placements we provide opportunities for school and college students to take part in STEM-related research. Education.
