The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funds research and training in social and economic issues. It is an independent organisation, established by Royal Charter, but receives most of our funding through the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills.

The Migration Observatory has also received smaller project-based grants or research contracts from Trust for London, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the ESRC’s UK in a Changing Europe initiative, and the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
