Details

UKRI commissioned RAND Europe to conduct an evaluation of the Future Leaders Fellowships programme (round one to six) in June 2022.

This process evaluation sought to:

  • understand the extent to which FLF’s organisational targets have been achieved
  • assess whether scheme management, support and structures have been fit for purpose
  • develop an understanding of barriers and facilitators faced by the scheme in relation to its set-up and implementation

The evaluation used a bespoke combination of analytical approaches consisting of comparator analysis, case studies and process mapping.

The evaluation draws from data collected from key informant interviews (fellows, hosts, UKRI scheme management, unsuccessful applicants), FLF management information analysis and document review.

The evaluation responds to six key evaluation questions around the uniqueness of the scheme, support for diversity and multidisciplinary and post-award support.
