The ESRC is seeking to commission an evaluation study to assess the impact of the New Dynamics of Ageing Programme. The Programme is an eight year multidisciplinary research initiative with the ultimate aim of improving quality of life of older people. The Programme is a unique collaboration between five UK Research Councils - ESRC, EPSRC, BBSRC, MRC and AHRC - and is the largest and most ambitious research programme on ageing ever mounted in the UK.
The evaluation will track forward from the work of the Programme, drawing on researcher and user perspectives and relevant documentation to assess the Programme’s contributions and identify examples of significant and well-documented impact on policy and practice. Given the cross-council nature of the Programme, the evaluation will also include an explicit assessment of the effects of interdisciplinary research on impact generation.
The Evaluation will:
Identify the ways in which the research conducted by the Programme has been utilised and applied by policy makers and practitioners, businesses and other research usersAssess and describe the degree to which the Programme’s research and related activities have contributed to, or influenced the development of policy, practice or productsIdentify and assess the range and nature of NDA’s policy, practice and product development impactsEvaluate the processes through which impacts have been generatedIdentify and analyse the determinants of the impacts identified (ie why and how impact has been generated)Assess the effects of the interdisciplinary nature of the Programme on impact generationAssess the effects of Programme organisation, including its leadership and management structure, on impact generationIdentify good practice and lessons learned, to support the development of impact generationInform the development of methodology for future impact evaluation studies in this areaFurther informationTo find out more information about the evaluation and to receive a copy of the Evaluation Brief, please contact (Reference P2130084):
