    Brief

    This procurement invites bids from independent evaluation organisations to assess the impact and effectiveness of EPSRC's Mixed Gender Panel (MGP) Policy, which aims to increase representation of underrepresented genders (particularly women) to 30% on peer review funding panels. The evaluation will establish an evidence base examining broader outcomes of this diversity initiative, including its effects on funding decisions, panel composition, applicant demographics, and research quality. Successful bidders will conduct comprehensive analysis, gather stakeholder feedback, and provide recommendations for policy optimisation. This is an opportunity to contribute to evidence-based diversity and inclusion practices in research funding.
