Funding call

Funding call: Domestic Abuse Evaluation Accelerator Fund

Foundations – What Works Centre for Children & Families is pleased to launch the Domestic Abuse Evaluation Accelerator Fund, which aims to support the roll-out of domestic abuse programmes and to pair these with rigorous evaluations – programmes amenable to using randomised controlled trials for evaluations will be favoured.  

We invite proposals for programmes or interventions, and are exclusively seeking applications for proposals that align with one of four key intervention areas:  

1. Perpetrator programmes 
2. Preventative and early intervention programmes 
3. Therapeutic interventions
4. Workforce programmes to build knowledge and skills and improve practice on domestic abuse.

Individual awards will be funded at a maximum of £500,000 over a period of up to 15 months. We anticipate awarding projects in December 2023. Set up of the programme will take place from January to April 2024, and delivery from April 2024 to April 2025.
