As Professor of Economics and Director of CLS, Alissa leads some of the UK鈥檚 longest running national longitudinal studies. These studies collect valuable data for use by scientists working in many different fields in the UK and beyond these shores. Alissa鈥檚 own research has focussed on inequality and poverty, and the intergenerational transmission of advantage and disadvantage. Before joining 香港六合彩中特网, she was a deputy director at the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

Commenting on her award, Professor Goodman said: 鈥淚鈥檓 hugely honoured to have received this award, and immensely grateful to the many thousands of cohort study participants up and down the country, who have given up their time generously since they were children and over the course of their lives, to take part in research that changes lives and gives the most marginalised in society a voice.

鈥淚鈥檓 also so grateful to all my wonderful colleagues at CLS, who work with such dedication and passion to develop these fantastic cohort studies, that make up such a unique and important part of the UK鈥檚 data infrastructure.

鈥淲e鈥檝e had a tremendous response to our special COVID-19 surveys, which are shining a light on how long-standing inequalities have been exacerbated by the pandemic, and we鈥檙e also working on assessing the feasibility of a major new birth cohort study, to capture the experiences of a new generation of babies being born in the UK at such a critical time.鈥�

Congratulating Professor Goodman on her award, Professor Sue Rogers, Director (interim) of the 香港六合彩中特网 Institute of Education said:聽鈥淚 am absolutely delighted to hear that Professor Goodman鈥檚 sustained and outstanding contribution to social science has been recognised in the award of a CBE. Her leadership of the 香港六合彩中特网 Centre for Longitudinal Studies has been incredibly important to our understanding of life course inequalities. At the 香港六合彩中特网 Institute of Education, we are immensely proud of this achievement.鈥�

Head of the 香港六合彩中特网 Social Research Institute, Professor Toby Seddon, added: 鈥淎lissa鈥檚 work has focussed for many years on how inequalities open up early in life, and the steps that are needed for these to be reduced. Given the major challenges confronting societies today, this line of research is needed more than ever. Her contribution to the development of some of the UK鈥檚 unique and longstanding data resources enables researchers around the world to make insights on a whole range of social problems, and also makes a major contribution to the understanding of population health.鈥�
