Collaborations

CWiPP provides a unique opportunity to bring together a wide range of disciplines concerned with this field. This has resulted in a number of substantive outputs. These include:

• The work of the ESRC funded workshop on valuing the intangible costs of crime that involved members from ScHARR, economics, psychology and criminology.
  
• Occasional workshops around specific topics – including analysing the BHPS data and developing a core set of well-being questions for primary research.
• Numerous research grants from government agencies and research councils including examining the social value of a QALY, two Defra projects, a Welsh Assembly grant, an EPSRC studentship and a recent MRC grant.
