This collaborative research project, funded by the UKRI’s Policy Support Fund and endorsed by the Office for Students (OfS), reports findings and recommendations for reinforcing and enhancing the OfS’s Standards of Evaluation Evidence.

The research also provides insights for strengthening evaluation evidence, collectively and individually, amongst a diverse group of NERUPI member higher education providers, and recommendations for practice.

“I am committed to maintaining our focus on enhancing the amount and quality of evaluation of the interventions committed to in the APPs. To this end, the Standards of Evaluation Evidence have been a valuable resource. I recognise the merit of this proposal to revisit these, and I am supportive of this continued critical engagement with the OfS’s work and its importance to the sector.” (John Blake, Director for Fair Access and Participation)
