Jack Butterworth

I am a research management professional, and I lead The National Archives’ research strategy, our fundraising, our funding programmes for archives across the UK, and our relationship with the academic and philanthropic sectors. 

I am interested, fundamentally, in making research work: in the financial, institutional, legal and cultural contexts that surround it, in research outside of Higher Education, and in equitable international collaboration. I am Project Lead on three projects: 

1. Digitising the National Farm Survey (Lund Trust, £2.13m)
2. Archives Revealed (four funders including the National Lottery Heritage Fund, £6m)UK-KSA Arabian Peninsula Cultural Research Fellowships (Ministry of Culture of Saudi Arabia, £819k) 

and Co-Lead on a further two: 

1. PASSAGE (Lloyd’s Register Foundation, £1m) 
2. Spaces, Places and Belonging (AHRC, £1m) 

I was previously a Department Manager at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, and before that, managed a biobank and a number of clinical research studies in the UK and sub-Saharan Africa.
