The Racial Diversity UK Fund provides research grants to generate new evidence on racial diversity, racial inequalities and their causes, and potential pathways toward greater racial justice and inclusion in the UK. It aims to fill gaps in understanding why some racial disparities persist, what works to reduce inequality, and how a diverse society can benefit all communities. The research supported is expected to contribute to public debate, inform policy and practice, and help map ways to build a more inclusive and equitable UK society. Grants from £15,000 to £500,000 are available.
The priority theme for the autumn 2026 application round will be announced in early summer.
There is one deadline a year for this fund, in the Autumn. The next deadline will be in October 2026.
Guidance notes and online application can be found on the Nuffield Foundation
