The Evaluation Task Force (ETF) is pleased to announce Phase 5 of its Evaluation Accelerator Fund (EAF). The EAF is a competitive grant fund and supports research and evaluation projects that:

  • create actionable evidence in HM Government priority areas that informs public spending or policy decisions;
  • tackle evidence gaps in HM Government priority areas; or
  • provide robust evidence of financial or efficiency savings from new policies, interventions, or innovative approaches to service delivery
  • Central government (e.g. UK Government departments, arms length bodies, and non-departmental public bodies)
  • Local government (e.g. Local authorities, regional authorities, MCAs, etc) 
  • Charities or organisations whose activities are charitable, benevolent or philanthropic in nature (e.g. universities, non-profits, community interest companies)

    • Funding is available for one-year projects which start in July 2026 and conclude by March 2027. All projects, with only a handful of exceptions, will be expected to produce findings that are shareable with the ETF and government partners by March 2027. It is acceptable if publication of findings follows soon after March 2027.

    Phase 5 of EAF has an overall value of up to £3.5 million for FY26-27. This is split into two distinct strands:

  • A minimum of £1 million available for projects designed to improve the evidence base around Violence Against Women and Girls (VAWG). 
  • A maximum of £2.5 million available for projects related to artificial intelligence, local government and other government priorities. 

    • It is important to note that each strand has separate application guidance and forms, linked above.
