Bids to the EAF were invited from departments and What Works Centres in areas aligned with the Prime Minister바카라 사이트™s core missions. To encourage the best bids, and maximise the impact of the fund, the ETF undertook extensive engagement with departments.
The fund is focused on supporting high-quality evaluation approaches using robust methodologies such as randomised control trials and quasi-experiments.
All bids were triaged to check for eligibility and then double-scored by the ETF. Consensus meetings were held to discuss discrepancies in scoring, ensure consistency in our assessment practices, and agree on an overall RAG rating for each bid. A long list of potential projects was then shared with colleagues in HM Treasury, and with the ETF Oversight Board for further feedback.
