What we do

As a regional partnership, N8 PRP increases capacity for all partners through shared knowledge and resources, Through our
governance structure and strategic investment in
knowledge exchange,
research, and
professional development, N8 PRP develops resilient collaborative relationships that can access external research funding, direct resources to high-priority areas, and ensure findings are shared with a wide and influential network of practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and other stakeholders. This spans operational questions, such as how to investigate
cryptocurrency, and broader questions of social justice, such as
improving policing for black people.
