1. Feedback: Tell us about your experiences within finance, funding and applying for or managing grants

We are looking for further education and skills sector staff who apply for, receive, or manage DfE grants to take part in research.

We want to learn about your role, how you manage your work, and any challenges you face when applying for or managing funding and grants.

 Your feedback will help us understand what works well today and where improvements could be made.

Research sessions will take place online between Wednesday 30 September and Friday 16 October 2026. Each session will last up to one hour and will be arranged at a time that works for you.

Sign up here, and a researcher will be in contact with you to arrange a session.
