Award, feedback and reapplication
At each phase of the application, the panel will score against the assessment criteria and provide comprehensive feedback. Your score and feedback will be communicated to you with the funding decision, and there will be the opportunity to discuss your application with a member of The National Archives’ Grants and Funding Office.
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. Any points you wish to make should be made clearly and concisely in the application form.
There are no restrictions on past applicants applying, however our data shows that reapplications are no more likely to receive funding than first-time applications. Before asking the panel to consider a collection for the second time, you should discuss your proposed project with the Grants and Funding Office at The National Archives.
Reporting, evaluation and knowledge dissemination
The Archives Revealed Scoping Grant funds a report on your collection. This report will be the final output of the grant. Applicants will be asked to submit the final, approved report to The National Archives, once it is completed.
Grantees will also be required to demonstrate the benefits and key performance indicators (KPIs) that the competition is seeking to realise. Successful applicants will be required to provide evidence against these measures. The measures against which applicants will be required to report, and the reporting intervals, will be agreed at award stage. Whilst benefit & KPI reporting is compulsory for all applicants, performance against these indicators is for the purpose of measuring the impact of the funding programme only, and does not affect eligibility for 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 above. Further conditions may be outlined within the Grant Funding Agreement.
