The UK Council for Graduate Education has launched DataCentre, an online, interactive resources allowing users to explore postgraduate participation data.

DataCentre was developed following the award of a grant, totalling £5700, by Research England for a data project mapping BAME participation in postgraduate research. This project builds upon the preliminary study into the inequalities between different ethnic groups in relation to postgraduate research. 
 

Intersectional Discoveries

DataCentre is a web-based tool, using HESA data to create interactive datasets, mapping various data dimensions to ethnicity and postgraduate research study.

This allows members of the postgraduate community to make their own discoveries about intersectional concerns in PGR study.

DataCentre & Research England and the Office for Students Funding Competition

If you are considering submitting a bid to this Research England/​Office for Students funding competition to Improve Access and Participation for Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Groups in Postgraduate Research, exploring the interactive reports on DataCentre can help you better understand the postgraduate population and participation of ethnicity groups.

Research England and the Office for Students are making available up to £8 million for projects that aim to provide evidence of effectiveness and impact on improved access and participation for black, Asian and minority ethnic groups in PGR students.

DataCentre will help deepen our understanding of the regional and intersectional inequalities that persist in doctoral-level research and allow interventions, funding applications, and indeed funding decisions to be targeted to meet the greatest needs.
