DCMS's Evidence and Analysis Unit is made up of the Department's economics, research and statistics staff, whose primary role is to provide analytical and statistical support to the Department. DCMS also maintains close links with research teams in the Non-Departmental Public Bodies (NDPBs) which DCMS sponsors. NDPBs publish many research reports on DCMS sectors; their research sites can be accessed from Research Links.
