Research Methods Programme
2002 — 2007

Main Aims: The Research Methods Programme aimed to improve methodological quality by funding research that directly enhanced methodological knowledge and developed tools to enhance research quality. It also disseminated methodological developments and good practice through training courses, on-line resources, seminars and awareness-raising events.

Since September 2007, a focal point for research, training and capacity building activities is being provided by the ESRC National Centre for Research Methods based at the University of Southampton.
