Rural Durham community research network

Purpose

Funded by Innovate UK and The Young Foundation, the Rural Durham Community Research Network supports community-led research to shape decisions, influence change and build research skills. Innovation Catalyst is supporting the project with monitoring and evaluation over the 5 year timeframe. 

Solution

In the early phase of the project the monitoring and evaluation has co-designed the purpose, set of principles, evaluation framework and key questions, and undertaken actor systems mapping of the network.

Benefit

The outputs, outcomes and impact will be collected, analysed and disseminated from year 2 (September 2025) until 2029.
