Deadline: 13-Jan-2025
The Youth Futures Foundation (YFF) is accepting proposals for the Practice Development and Implementation Partner for Evidence into Action Programme.
Evidence into Action (EiA) is a newly-launched programme that seeks to encourage and support the youth employment and skills sector to adopt an evidence-based approach to the way that they deliver for young people.
A common challenge found across the sector is putting evidence into action through sharing and translation. Simply providing information about evidence-based programmes or practices is usually insufficient to change what funders, commissioners or practitioners do. There are multiple behavioural, organisational, and system-wide barriers for stakeholders to overcome.
‘Evidence into Action’ will develop a series of focused funding and learning programmes to directly influence practitioners, employers, funders and commissioners, ensuring that stakeholders are supported to understand and enact evidence-informed change in the way that they do things.
Funding Information
- The total budget for this work is £200,000.
Eligibility Criteria
- They welcome proposals either from a team at a single organisation or from two or more organisations working in partnership.
Requirements
Role requirements of Practice Development and Implementation Partner

- a plan of bespoke support for delivery organisations as they develop their service, including development of Theory of Change maps for each intervention.
- development of practice guidance based on learnings from the above which other similar delivery organisations can use.
