Award and feedback
The panel will score against the assessment criteria and provide feedback. The National Archives’ decision regarding any application is final, and no appeal process is in place: it is the lead applicant’s responsibility to make sure that all of the information provided in the application is correct, their proposal meets the eligibility criteria, and all sections of the application are complete. Applications that are deemed ineligible will be excluded from consideration. Any points you wish to make should be made clearly and concisely in the application form. Repeat applications are not possible for this programme.
If you are awarded funding, The National Archives’ Grants and Funding team will contact you with a Grant Funding Agreement, which should be signed by an appropriate member of your organisation. 100% of the grant’s value will be paid to you up front.
Reporting, evaluation and knowledge dissemination
Awarded grantees will be required to report on the progress and outcomes of the grant. More detail on monitoring and reporting will be available following the award of the grant. Our approach to monitoring and evaluation is informed by our vision: through our grant-making, we want to build evidence for investment in archives, celebrate grantees’ success, and advocate for the archives sector, while keeping our reporting requirements as flexible and accessible as possible.
Grant conditions
All grantees will be required to comply with the Code of Conduct for Recipients of Government General Grants and all relevant legislation, as well as the monitoring and evaluation conditions outlined in the previous sections. Further conditions may be outlined within the Grant Funding Agreement.
