About the fund

NCFE has just launched their Assessment Innovation Fund with up to £200,000 available to pilot new and innovative approaches to assessment.

They want to hear from you if you think you can help to transform the future of assessment.

You will need to be able to demonstrate:

• The issue that the innovation is trying to solve.
• The potential impact on learners.
• That the innovation is linked to at least one of the guiding principles for Assessment Innovation.
• The sustainability and scalability of the proposed solution.
• Feasibility and robustness of the methodology.
