DAERA Directed AFBI Research Work Programme 2026

Research needs are identified by DAERA on an ongoing basis, informed by both informal and formal engagement with stakeholders. Proposals agreed through this annual process form part of the 2026 DAERA Directed AFBI Research Work Programme (DDARWP), delivered by AFBI for DAERA. Aside from the DDARWP, other options are supported by DAERA to meet these research needs, such as the DAERA-funded Postgraduate Studentship Scheme.
