Local Policy Innovation Partnerships (LPIPs) will establish network to harness the power of research and innovation to benefit all four nations of the UK.
The £23 million LPIPs programme has been designed to support local and national policymakers in tackling levelling up challenges, driving sustainable and inclusive economic growth, and reducing regional disparities in the UK. It has been developed as part of UK Research and Innovation’s (UKRI) creating opportunities and improving outcomes theme.
The scheme will build cross-sector partnerships that aim to address policy challenges that matter to local people and communities by:
- generating insight and understanding into local challenges and opportunities
- working with stakeholders to implement evidence-informed, actionable solutions
