项目摘要

The aim of this project is to provide comprehensive data on the contemporary population of third sector organisations in the UK. We will create one accessible & robust data resource that will help charities, third sector infrastructure bodies, funders & policymakers develop a fuller understanding of the sector. In effect this data resource will accurately map the full membership of the third sector. We will then use the growing body of data being made available on grantmaking to voluntary organisations, and on public procurement, to build resources which will allow researchers to improve understanding of the funding mix of third sector organisations.The resources we create will help third sector organisations and policy makers because it will improve their understanding of their environment, particularly funding opportunities & also potential competitors or collaborators. This means they will be able to better support their beneficiaries by, for example, targeting their services or co-operating with similar organisations.The data will meet administrative & research challenges facing the sector by providing a "spine" for the growing number of open data initiatives. This new data infrastructure will add new value to existing UK social science infrastructure, and will be able to be reused by academic and non-academic researchers (such as those working in government). This data will also help the Office for National Statistics as they work to improve coverage of non-profit organisations in the National Accounts (see letters of support). It is consistent with ESRC's strategic priorities such as a "Vibrant and fair society", in that it significantly enhances understanding of the resources of third sector organisations.The project will:Building on TSRC/NCVO's existing databases, generated by combining registers of charities and the Companies House register of companies, we will:Classify organisations in the dataset- We will develop & publish a method for classifying existing organisations (there remain considerable gaps in our classification of the many organisations that are nonprofit but which are also not charitable) & new organisations that come onto the register. This will enable users to select data for particular subsets of the sector, or for organisations operating in particular areas.- Develop a website where this data can be hosted & accessed, with the ability to generate a list of specific organisations.Match the data with other data sources- Develop & publish a method & tools for matching a list of organisations to these databases, based on their name and any other information. This will make it easy to bring together other lists of organisations.- Matching with lists of grant recipients published by grant makers. The main source of these lists will be the "360 Giving" initiative which is encouraging grantmakers to open up data about who they fund but we will work with other major funders. Published data already includes several hundred thousand awards made to voluntary organisations. We will also work with grantmakers to help them securely look at more detailed data - including data on applications for funding, making analyses of these possible for the first time.- Matching with lists of government spending, particularly local government. These lists, often running to several hundred thousand transactions, contain an entry for every organisation that has received money from government departments or authorities. Because of the challenges involved in this - there are over 400 local authorities in England, with much variation in the quality of information - we will pilot this work in a selected region.The project represents an excellent example of a partnership between a strong academic research centre, TSRC, and a high-profile national voluntary organisation, NCVO, in which research is designed and developed with the needs of user and academic communities equally in mind.

该项目的目的是提供有关英国第三部门组织当代人口的全面数据。我们将创建一个可访问且强大的数据资源，该资源将帮助慈善机构，第三部门基础设施机构，资助者和政策制定者对该行业有更深入的了解。实际上，此数据资源将准确绘制第三扇区的完整成员资格。然后，我们将利用越来越多的数据提供给志愿组织的赠款，以及公共采购，以建立资源，从而使研究人员能够提高对第三部门组织的资金组合的了解。我们创造的资源将有助于第三部门组织和政策制定者是因为它将改善他们对环境的理解，尤其是资助机会以及潜在的竞争对手或合作者。这意味着他们将能够通过例如针对服务或与类似的组织合作来更好地支持其受益人。该数据将通过为越来越多的公开数量提供“脊椎”来应对该行业面临的行政和研究挑战数据计划。这种新的数据基础设施将为现有的英国社会科学基础设施增加新价值，并能够被学术和非学术研究人员（例如在政府工作的研究人员）重复使用。这些数据还将帮助国家统计局办公室，以提高国民帐户中非营利组织的覆盖范围（请参阅支持信）。这与ESRC的战略重点（例如“充满活力和公平的社会”）一致，因为它大大增强了对第三部门组织的资源的了解。我们将：在数据集中的组织室内注册，我们将在数据集中进行分类 - 我们将开发并发布一种对现有组织进行分类的方法（在我们对许多非营利组织的分类中，差距仍然很大，但也不是慈善的）＆进入注册的新组织。这将使用户能够为该行业的特定子集选择数据，或者为在特定领域运行的组织选择数据。其他数据源 - 开发和发布一种方法和工具，以根据其名称和任何其他信息将组织列表与这些数据库匹配。这将使您可以轻松将其他组织列表汇总在一起。-与赠款制造商发布的赠款收件人列表进行匹配。这些列表的主要来源将是“ 360奉献”倡议，该计划鼓励授予者开放有关他们资助的人的数据，但我们将与其他主要资助者合作。已发布的数据已经包括向志愿组织颁发的数十万个奖项。我们还将与授予者合作，以帮助他们安全地查看更详细的数据 - 包括有关资金申请的数据，首次对这些数据进行分析。这些列表通常运行到数十万事务，其中包含从政府部门或当局收到资金的每个组织的条目。由于这涉及的挑战 - 英格兰有400多个地方当局，信息质量的差异很大 - 我们将在选定的地区进行此工作。该项目代表了强大的学术研究之间建立伙伴关系的一个很好的例子Center，TSRC和一个备受瞩目的国家志愿组织NCVO，在该组织中，研究和开发了用户和学术社区的需求。
