It also serves as founder or co-funder of the Nuffield Council on Bioethics, the Nuffield Family Justice Observatory, and the Ada Lovelace Institute. The Foundation supports researchers and policymakers by backing studies that shape social policy in its areas of focus, and it maintains collaborative networks with institutions it has helped establish.
