Details
The Datalab facility is part of HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) support for the National Data Strategy, which aims to use data securely, to drive innovation and productivity across the UK, enhancing the delivery of public services to improve people’s lives.
The facility allows suitable applicants to suggest innovative and practical research projects to HMRC on a voluntary basis, which, if approved, aims to produce a high-quality final report for use by HMRC, the researcher community and the public.
HMRC benefits by contracting with applicant institutions and their researchers to act on behalf of HMRC in producing analysis that supports HMRC’s functions. The research must be conducted in accordance with HMRC’s requirements, and the final research findings must be suitable for publishing in a reputable impartial publication or for use by Government Departments.
Datalab projects are not commissioned by HMRC.
See About the HMRC Datalab for further information.
