September 2012, the JRF launched a new four-year programme to develop an anti-poverty strategy for the UK. The aim is to create a set of costed, evidence-based, anti-poverty strategies for all age groups in each of the four nations of the UK.
For the current calls for proposals, where interventions appear promising, the JRF will incorporate them into the anti-poverty strategies for the UK.  Current calls include:

• Institutional care and poverty: evidence and policy review –  Deadline: 13 February 2013
• Disability, mental health, impairments, long-term conditions and poverty: evidence and policy review – Deadline: 13 February 2013
• Employment, pay and poverty: evidence and policy review – Deadline: 13 February 2013
• Gender and poverty: evidence and policy review – Deadline: 13 February 2013
• Personal relationships and poverty: evidence and policy review – Deadline: 6 February 2013
• International and historical anti-poverty strategies: evidence and policy review – Deadline: 6 February 2013
• Area regeneration and localisation: evidence and policy review – Deadline: 6 February 2013
