£50 million available to support evaluations!
The Evaluation Task Force is excited to share details of four funds, worth over £50 million, to support evaluations across government!
The Evaluation Task Force (ETF) is supporting four funds which focus on supporting the development of evaluations across priority areas in government. These offer exciting opportunities to test new ideas and build evidence into your work. See below for further information on each of the funds.
The Evaluation Accelerator Fund
The deadline for Phase 3 Funding has now been extended to 6:00pm Friday, 18 August 2023.
The ETF has entered the final round of the £15 million Evaluation Accelerator Fund. This fund aims to accelerate evaluation activity and create actionable evidence in government priority areas, tackle evidence gaps, and provide robust evidence from new policies to service delivery. In phase 1 and 2, 20 projects were successful.
The remaining £1.25 million of the fund is available to government departments, arms length bodies or What Works Centres (WWCs) for projects beginning in April 2024.
