Overview

TASO is seeking to appoint an independent evaluator to support six higher education (HE) providers to develop Theories of Change (ToCs) and evaluation plans for interventions aimed at addressing the ethnicity degree awarding gap. TASO will publish these ToCs as prototypes for the sector to use.

Scope

TASO will fund an independent evaluator to work with HE providers and develop Core and Enhanced ToCs for interventions to address the ethnicity degree awarding gap. Once developed, these ToCs will be published and accessible for the wider sector to use. The independent evaluator will also build a concrete evaluation plan, favouring Type 3 evaluation where possible, for each intervention, including recommendations on design, methodology, and data indicators that map onto the ToC.

The project will run between September and December 2023.
