Ingenious evaluation toolkit

This online toolkit contains resources for grant holders to evaluate their Ingenious projects and share good practice.

Evaluation guide and FAQs

Our evaluation guide and FAQs should give you all the information you need to evaluate your project:

Evaluation Surgeries

Evaluation surgeries provide support to grant holders and those involved in the development, delivery and evaluation of Ingenious projects. The surgeries also provide opportunities to receive advice on your project and to share ideas with other grant holders.

Surgeries take place each year, following the announcement of each round of awards.

“[I] really appreciated having lots of time to talk to others in the group to hear their ideas and discover shared problems” Ingenious Grant Holder.

Example questionnaires

These questionnaires provide examples of how to collect information from two different Ingenious audiences and can be downloaded and adapted to your needs.
