Help evaluate the National Capability in Behavioural Research

The NCBR funds Behavioural Research UK which is designed to connect stakeholders and drive interdisciplinary innovation in applied behavioural research. It also includes the Centre for National Training and Research Excellence in Understanding Behaviour (Centre-UB), a Centre for Doctoral Training Plus (CDT+) that aims to build a critical mass of interdisciplinary researchers with the knowledge and skills to transform our understanding of human behaviour. Two fellows from the investments are/will be seconded to GO-Science and Government Skills to support the achievement of these objectives.

Technopolis would now like to invite interested parties to complete a evaluation survey of the NCBR.  This survey is a crucial part of our efforts to undertake an initial baseline assessment. It is addressed to stakeholders interested in NCBR, including actors involved in the activities of BR-UK and in the Centre-UB, the members of cross-government behavioural insights network and wider actors working on behavioural research in the UK.

The purpose of the survey is to assess the relevance, effectiveness, and overall impact of NCBR. Your responses will help us understand key areas such as:

• The alignment of behavioural research priorities with stakeholder needs.
• The role of NCBR in generating new knowledge, tools, and methods within the behavioural research field.
• How NCBR has contributed to career development, research opportunities, and the broader application of behavioural research in public policy and other sectors.

Your responses will provide valuable insights that will help assess the importance and effectiveness of NCBR and contribute to ESRC’s knowledge about how best to support behavioural research. 

The survey should take about 10 minutes to complete. It will remain open until the 14^th of March.

If you are a member of the BR-UK or Centre-UB or have received a link to complete the survey through them, please do not use the link in this news item. If you have any further questions or need further clarification, please contact the Project Manager of this evaluation, Alessandro Sica, ncbr_evaluation[@]technopolis-group.com
